PREFACE. 



My Dear Classmates : 

When the suggestion was first made to me that I should 
undertake the compilation of our class history, I felt many mis- 
givings, feeling my inability to accomplish it in as satisfactory 
a manner as it would have been done by our late beloved class- 
mate Proctor, who commenced the work more than ten years 
ago. After due deliberation, realizing the many difficulties in 
the way of its accomplishment, I consented to carry out your 
wishes, and now offer you the result of my labors. 

If you take a tithe of the pleasure in perusing the histories 
of each other that I have taken in preparing them, I shall feel 
amply repaid for the time and labor spent. I have endeavored 
to do full justice to all, and have made the sketches as full as 
it was possible to do, with the amount of information received. 
I regret that some are so meagre in detail, but the utmost per- 
sistence on my part has failed to elicit any further particulars. 

I wish to express my sincere thanks to you all for valuable 
assistance rendered. 

It has been an especial pleasure to me to have greeted in 
person so many of our class, and to have lived over again, 



6 PREFACE. 

briefly, some of our college days. Ayers, Barrows, Charles, 
Gage, Gould, Hildreth, Howe, Rowe and Scribner have all 
spent some time in Chicago during the past year. 

We have reason to be thankful that, after the lapse of twenty 
years, so many of our number are still in the land of the living 
Let us tenderly cherish the memories of those who have been 
called from earth, and extend our heartfelt sympathies to their 
bereaved families. 

Hoping you will take pleasure in reading the record of each 

others' labors and successes, 

I am fraternally yours, 

JOHN C. WEBSTER.

ner of Hon. Ira A. Eastman, under the firm name of Eastman

member of the firm, under the title of Eastman, Page & 
Albin, and so continued until September 1, 1874. The firm 
was a leading one, and did as large a legal business as any in 
the state. At the date last named, he withdrew from the firm, 
and associated himself with Hon. Mason W. Tappan, the firm 
name being Tappan & Albin, and has continued the relation 
up to the present time, with the exception of a short time 
during which Mr. Tappan was prevented under the statute from 
practicing his profession, by reason of his holding the position 
of Attorney General of the State of New Hampshire. After a 
time, the statute was repealed, and the partnership was renewed. 
They have been very successful in practice.

years, accomplishing a great deal in the church, and was also 
interested in everything pertaining to the welfare of the city. 
He had great influence in the Reform Club, of which organiza- 
tion he was one of the founders, and in whose prosperity he 
always felt, and still feels, the deepest interest. It was also 
mainly through his efforts that the French Protestant church in 
Lowell was established, and their present comfortable and com-

modious building erected. He was chairman of the committee 
which carried through so successfully the meeting of the Ameri- 
can Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, which was 
held in Lowell in 1880, the largest gathering of the society on 
record.

Society. He is also President of the Dartmouth Alumni Asso- 
ciation of the Pacific Coast. He is the editor of the Overland 
Monthly, and has contributed to various newspapers and period- 
icals. He is a popular and eloquent lecturer, but his regular 
church duties forbid his responding to the many calls made upon 
him in this department of literary work. He is the Chaplain of 
the Second Regiment of Artillery, of California. He also takes 
an active interest in musical affairs. He is the Director of the 
Choral Society of San Francisco, which society gave a very suc- 
cessful and gratifying rendition of the Oratorio of the Redemp- 
tion on the evening of May 8, 1883. It was very highly spoken 
of by the press of the city. 

At a meeting of the General Association of Congregational 
Churches of California, held at Santa Cruz, California, October 9, 
1883, he was heard for the first time. The report of that meeting 
has the following: "After his eloquent address, no one was more 
welcome to the platform than he. He was recognized as a 
power, and a born leader for every good work and cause. The

practical paper of the Association was by him, on "The Ideal 
Sunday School."

of health at the time of graduation. Immediately after leaving 
Hanover, he went to Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, and visited 
with a sister and brother who were residing there, remaining 
until November, 1864. He then went home to his mother, 
at Townsend, Massachusetts, and remained there, gradually fail- 
ing in health, until he died of consumption, December 28, 
1864. It was a great struggle for him to give up life, wishing 
very much to live and carry on a work which he felt he had 
hardly begun. 

During the last few weeks of his sickness, when he became 
aware that no human skill could save him, he became recon- 
ciled, and died very happy. He was never married.

>^ Emerson (Hodgdon) Bunker, was "always born in Barn- 
stead," New Hampshire, on July 21, 1840. He commenced his 
classical studies at Blanchard Academy, Pembroke, New Hamp-

August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, he went to Corinth, Vermont,

Spring of 1865, he became Principal of the Academy at Mcln- 
does Falls, Vermont, where he remained until the Fall of 1867. 
He then received a call to become Principal of the Caledonia 
County Academy, at Peacham, Vermont ; and considering it 
quite a loud call pecuniarily, he accepted the position, and has 
continued to occupy the situation until the present time. He 
says he has a good school, in a pleasant community, and is 
happy and contented. In the Summer of 1882, he took a trip 
West as far as Chicago, Illinois, and frankly confesses that he 
likes the W^est, and really would offer no serious objections to 
locate there. 

He received the degree of Master of Arts in course. He has 
been Superintendent of Schools in the town of Peacham for the 
past fourteen years, which is the only public office he has held, 
with the single exception noted below; though he wonders very

much that his merits and capabilities in the direction of office- 
holding have been so long overlooked by his fellow-citizens. 

At the annual meeting of the Vermont State Teachers' Asso- 
ciation, held at Montpelier, Vermont, October 24-27, 1883, he 
was elected President for the ensuing year. 

In his political views, he has always been faithless to the 
Democratic party. « 

He was married May 20, 1869, to Miss Nellie S. Blake, 
daughter of Dr. Jeremiah Blake, of Gilmanton Iron Works, 
New Hampshire. 

This union has not been blessed with children, which is a 
cause of deep regret to the would-be parents, as' they have pecu- 
liar ideas and theories in regard to the best way of rearing off- 
spring, which would undoubtedly be of inestimable value to their 
fellow-men.

August 26, typhoid symptoms manifested themselves so strongly 
that a medical consultation was held, but no fatal result was 
immediately feared. Through that day, however, and the 
following night, he sank from hemorrhage and exhaustion 
rapidly and surely, until death ensued at 7:45 on the morning 
of August 27, 1 87 1. He was a man of fine abilities and 
genial nature, and his death was a sad blow to hosts of 
friends.

witji Hon. Samuel N. Bell (class of '47), at Manchester, New 
Hampshire, remaining with him for three years, with the excep- 
tion of the Winters, when he taught school at Gloucester, 
Massachusetts. He was admitted to the bar of Hillsborough 
county, Supreme Court of New Hampshire, in September, 1867. 

He started West immediately, and located at Seymour, Indi- 
ana, October 14, 1867, where he has continued in the practice 
of his profession up to the present date. He. holds a high rank 
as a citizen, as well as a lawyer, enjoying a lucrative practice, 
and possessing one of the largest and best selected law libraries 
in the State of Indiana. He was honored by his fellow citizens 
by an election to the office of Mayor of Seymour, from May. 
1870, to May, T872. He declined a reelection at the next term, 
but in May, 1874, he was again elected, and served two terms, 
until May, 1878, when he positively declined to again be a can- 
didate, although persistently urged to do so. 

In the Fall of 1880, he was the Republican nominee for 
Congress from his District, and made an active and laborious 



30 ALBERT P. CHARLES. 

canvass. This District is the greatest Democratic stronghold in 
the State, and he was defeated by his Democratic opponent, as he 
expected to be, but by a very largely decreased Democratic ma- 
jority, running far ahead of his ticket, polling a larger vote than 
any Republican candidate that ever preceded him. 

He was a member of the Board of Trustees, and Treasurer 
of the School Board from June, 1880, to June, 1883, and was 
then reelected for the term ending in June, 1886. He is noted 
for his zeal in educational matters. 

He is also the Attorney of several Building and Loan Asso- 
ciations, which aggregate a capital of over half a million dollars. 
He is the Attorney, Secretary and Treasurer of the Seymour and 
Jonesville Gravel Road Company; Secretary and Treasurer of the 
Seymour Gaslight and Coke Company, and Attorney for the Sey- 
mour Amusement Association. 

He has taken an active and deep interest in Freemasonry, 
making a careful and thorough study of its workings. His 
library contains nearly one hundred and fifty bound volumes of 
Masonic literature, not including innumerable reports in pam- 
phlet form. 

He has held the following offices: In the Grand Lodge of 
Indiana, he was Grand Lecturer from 1875-7; Grand Marshal, 
1877-8; Junior Grand Warden, from 1879-80; Senior Grand

ALBERT P. CHARLES. 31 

ous Master from 1876-7; Deputy Illustrious Grand Master from 
1877-8, and Illustrious Grand Master from 1878-9. 

He is very pleasantly situated, as some of us who have visited 
him can testify. His home is a model one, and abounds with 
every convenience that good taste can suggest. 

He was married October 27, 1874, to Miss Belle C. Thurs- 
ton, of Seymour, Indiana. 

They have had four children: George McC., born April 26,

H-' (Gilman) Davis, was born March 29, 1841, at Gilford, 
New Hampshire. He began his classical studies at the New 
Hampshire Conference Seminary, Tilton, New Hampshire, and 
entered college at the beginning of Freshman year, August 
24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, he commenced the study of 
medicine with the late Prof. A. B. Crosby, and remained with 
him for three years, attending the lectures meanwhile at Dart- 
mouth Medical College, and taking his degree of Doctor of 
Medicine from that institution in May, 1867. He then went 
with Prof. Crosby to Burlington, Vermont, as his assistant in a 
course of lectures on surgery. In July, 1867, he went to Ply- 
mouth, New Hampshire, and engaged actively in the practice 
of his profession until July, 1880, when sickness came upon 
him, and he was unable to attend to business for three months. 
In the Fall of the same year, he sold his office and furniture 
to another physician, and devoted himself entirely to the recov- 
ery of his health, with but imperfect success for a long time. 
He has spent a considerable time in traveling during the past 
two years. In June, 1882, he took a trip into the Northwest as 
far as Montana Territory, returning by way of the lakes from 
Duluth to Buffalo. He spent most of the Winter of 1882-3 
with his family among the pines and orange groves of Florida, 



SILAS W. DAVIS. 33 

receiving much benefit from both of these trips. For the past 
year he has resided at Winchester, Massachusetts, eight miles 
from Boston, where he has easy access to the various hospitals 
of the city. His health has greatly improved during the past 
year, and he is again engaging in professional work to some ex- 
tent, but is also interested in financial matters. He has attained 
success in his profession, inclining especially to surgery, having 
performed nearly all the amputations, excepting that at the hip- 
joint, and all with very good results. 

For. the past ten years he has operated quite extensively and 
successfully in Western mortgage loans. During this period, he 
has also been a Director in the Citizens' National Bank, and a 
Trustee of the Iona Savings Bank, of Tilton, New Hampshire.

Johnson, daughter of Col. John Keniston, of Plymouth, New 
Hampshire, the ceremony being performed by our classmate 
Rev. Cyrus Richardson, it being his first experience in that 
line. They have two children: George H., born December 
1, 1874, and Charles E., born October 13, 1880.

political campaign of 1868, speaking one hundred times in 
twenty different counties. During his residence in Albany, he 
was a member of the Albany Zouave Cadets, and served for a 
short time as Aid-de-camp on the staff of General Woodhall. 

In May, 1869, he removed to New York City, and was

David CQ. Gdgei^ly. - 

DAVID MARKS EDGERLY, son of David Leighton and 
Olive (Place) Edgerly, was born August n, 1839, at New 
Durham, New Hampshire. He fitted at New Hampton, New 
Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman 
year, August 24, i860. 

After receiving the final honors, he went at once to West- 
boro', Massachusetts, where he obtained a situation as teacher 
in the State Reform School. He considered his initiation into 
the duties of that institution as rather severe, as one of his first 
experiences was to have a slate, minus the frame, hurled playfully 
at his head by one of the boys, who has since committed 
murder. He became master of the situation, however, and 
thenceforward only encountered the annoyances incident to such 
an institution. During his leisure hours here, he commenced the 
study of medicine. In October, 1865, he went to New York, 
and attended his first course of lectures at the University Medical 
College. At the end of the course, in February, 1866, he went 
to Farmington, New Hampshire, and took charge of the High 
School there for six months. During this period, he continued 
to read medicine in the office of N. A. Hersom, M.D. At the 
commencement of the next Winter term, in October, 1866, he 
returned to New York to resume his studies. In March, 1867, 
he received his diploma affirming the fact that he was duly 
qualified to practise medicine and "deal in die stuffs." He 



38 DAVID M. EDGERLY. 

remained in New York for two months, attending clinics at the 
various hospitals. About the first of June, 1867, he opened an 
office for the practice of his profession at Ballardvale, a manu- 
facturing village in the town of Andover, Massachusetts. He 
remained there until he saw a desirable opening at West Newton, 
Massachusetts, to which place he removed in September, 1868. 
He continued in practice here until October, 1874, when he 
removed to Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, where he has con- 
tinued in the practice of his profession up to the present time, 
with good success; even being successful as the defendant in a 
suit for malpractice, which, after two years' litigation, has been 
recently decided in his favor. 

He was Secretary of his district Medical Society for four 
years, and is now one of the Board of Censors. In the Fall 
of 1875, he na d a severe attack of sickness, supposed to be 
consumption, which kept him from work for five months. Since 
recovering from that, he has enjoyed much better health than for 
ten years preceding. 

His religious preferences may be inferred when it is stated 
that he is a deacon in the Prospect-street Congregational Church. 
In politics, he is a Republican. 

He was married June 30, 1868, to Miss Caroline L. 
Cooper, of Andover, Massachusetts. They have four children : 
Alfred Hastings, born November 21. 1871 ; E. Cleveland, 
born August 23, 1874; Marian Cooper, born November 26, 
1877; Caroline Marcia, born August 15, 1882. 



Daniel (X). Guu iom. 

DANIEL MITCHEL ELLIOT, son of Dr. Jacob Gault 
and Betsey Tyler (Moore) Elliot, was born October 7, 
1842, at Littleton, Massachusetts. He received his preparatory 
training at Pembroke Academy, Pembroke, New Hampshire, 
and entered college at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, 
August 24, i860. 

He completed the full course; and after graduating, he 
received a position as clerk in the office of the Central 
Vermont Railroad, at St. Albans, Vermont, which he held 
from September 5, 1864, to May 13, 1865. He then devoted 
himself to teaching for a few years, his first location being 
at Castine, Maine, where he was Principal of the High School 
from May 22, 1865, until March 2, 1866. He then taught 
the Academy at Mclndoes Falls, Vermont, until the Fall of 
1868. He then decided to study medicine, and went to Pem- 
broke, New Hampshire, as a pupil of Dr. B. H. Phillips, 
and afterward to Manchester, New Hampshire, under the in- 
struction of Drs. W. D. Buck & L. B. How. He attended one 
course of lectures at Dartmouth Medical College, and one at 
Harvard Medical School, where he graduated in June, 1869. 
He commenced practice immediately at Littleton, Massachusetts, 
and remained there until April, 1871, when he removed to 
Harrisville, New Hampshire, and practiced for one year. In 
May, 1872, he moved to Yarmouth, Maine, giving up medicine 



40 DANIEL M. ELLIOT. 

temporarily, and took charge of the Academy at that place as 
Principal, remaining there only until October, 1872. 

At this time, he went to South Deerfield, Massachusetts, and 
resumed the practice of medicine, continuing there until the 
Spring of 1877, when he removed to Peabody, Massachusetts, 
where he remained with increasing success in his chosen pro- 
fession until his death. He received the degree of Master of Arts 
in course, from Dartmouth. He was a member of the Peabody 
Board of Health ; also a prominent Odd-Fellow, and was iden- 
tified with several other secret societies. 

In July, 1882, he had become worn out with hard work, 
and having more care than usual, he .gave up, one afternoon, to 
rest a little while, saying he was not sick, but only tired. It 
proved to be the beginning of an attack of inflammation of the 
meninges of the brain, which steadily progressed to a fatal ter- 
mination. He was able to speak to his wife a little at times, 
though it was extremely painful for him to do so. His chief 
anxiety seemed to be for his wife, and two nieces, whom they 
had adopted. His death occurred on July 26, 1882, at Pea- 
body, Massachusetts. His funeral was attended in the old 
South Church, the Odd-Fellows of the town having charge of 
the remains, and attending them to the depot in a body, while 
four of their number were sent to Littleton, Massachusetts, 
where the body was interred. • The expressions of sympathy 
which were uttered, the reminiscences of his uniform kindness to 
those in distress or suffering, his charity to those in need, and 
his unswerving purpose to do the right, were frequent, and 
showed that he had endeared himself wonderfully to the hearts 
of his fellow citizens. A newspaper published in the town of 
Peabody concludes a notice of him thus: "Fortunate, indeed, 
will be our town, if, in all the duties which he has been called 



DANIEL M. ELLIOT. ±\ 

upon to perform, shall be found one upon whom his mantle is 
worthy to fall." 

He was a member of the Congregational church. He 
always took an active interest in politics, though never desiring 
office. He was a strong Republican. 

He was married September 22, 1870, to Miss Sarah A. 
Childs, of Mclndoes Falls, Vermont, who survives him. They 
had no children. 



(3ohn U. Roster. 



JOHN LUTHER FOSTER, son of George and Phila 
(Hoskins) Foster, was born September 15, 1837, at Lyman, 
New Hampshire. He received his preparatory training at the 
Caledonia County Academy, Peacham, Vermont, and entered 
college at the beginning of Freshman year, August 24, i860. 
Immediately after graduating, in August, 1864, he entered 
the service of his country as paymaster's clerk for Major Israel 
O. Dewey, of Hanover, New Hampshire. In the discharge 
of his duties, he was stationed at Hilton Head and Beaufort, 
South Carolina, remaining there until he was compelled by 
sickness to return home in January, 1865. After about three 
months spent in recuperating, he went, in April, 1865, to 
Manchester, New Hampshire, and began the study of law 
in the office of Morrison, Stanley & Clark. He was ad- 
mitted to the bar of New Hampshire in September, 1867, 
at Nashua, New Hampshire. In October, 1868, he was 
admitted to practice in the United States District Court at 
Manchester, New Hampshire. He began the practice of his 
profession immediately, with the firm of Morrison, Stanley & 
Clark, and continued with them until October, 1869, when 
he went to Boston, Massachusetts, and was admitted to the 
bar of Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He remained in prac- 
tice at Boston until January, 1871, when he was taken sick 
and returned to his old home at Lyman, New Hampshire. 



JOHN L. FOSTER. 43 

He did not resume his practice until April, 1874, at which 
time he went to Littleton, New Hampshire, and formed a 
copartnership with Hon. Charles Rand, which existed until 
the death of Mr. Rand, in August, 1874, after which he 
continued alone in practice. In the Spring of 1875, ne was 
chosen Justice of the Police Court at Littleton, and held that 
position until January, 1877, when he removed to Lisbon, 
New Hampshire, where he has continued in the practice of 
law up to the present time. 

He gives his religious preferences as Orthodox ; in politics, 
he is a Republican.

born September 5, 1878 ; Ray Stevens, born October 5, 
1880. 

Johnnie L. died October 24, 1881. 



&5lLIiAI^D &X FREEMAN. 

7JYILLARD WHEELER FREEMAN, son of Joshua and 
vA^ Sarah (Brown) Freeman, was born October 4, 1839, at 
Albion, Maine. He commenced his preparatory studies at Water- 
ville Academy, and entered Waterville College, Maine, in the 
Fall of i860. He remained there until he entered our class at 
Dartmouth, at the beginning of the Spring term of Senior 
year, in February, 1864. 

Immediately after graduating, he commenced the study of 
law, in the office of Attorney-General J. H. Drummond, at 
Portland, Maine, where he remained one year. In August, 
1865, he went West, and taught school for four months near 
Rock Island, Illinois. In the Spring of 1866, he started West 
on the Union Pacific Railroad, which was then being built, 
and stopped at its terminus, which was at that time Columbus, 
Nebraska. In August, 1866, he went to Moline, Illinois, and 
opened an office for the practice of law, but after waiting a 
few months for business, decided to resume teaching, and took 
charge of a school at Port Byron, nine miles above Moline, 
on the Mississippi River. 

In March, 1867, he entered into a law partnership with 
C. G. Richardson, a former classmate of' his at Waterville 
College, at St. Louis, Missouri. He remained there until Sep- 
tember, 1867, when he accepted the position of Principal of 
the High School at Waupun, Wisconsin, where he remained 



WILLARD W. FREEMAN. 45 

for two years. In the Fall of 1869, he took charge of the 
High School at Lake Mills, Wisconsin, where he remained for 
one year, when he received a nattering offer to go to Wash- 
ington Territory. He accepted the offer, and went to Whit- 
man, Walla Walla County, and became Principal of Whitman 
Seminary. He continued his position there until the Summer 
of 187 1, when he returned East, and became Principal of 
the High School at Black River Falls, Wisconsin, remaining

to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to attend the Centennial Exposi- 
tion; and in the Fall of that year, he entered the Philadelphia 
University, from which Medical College he graduated in March, 
1877. 

He then went to Anoka, Minnesota, and commenced the 
practice of medicine, and has remained there up to the present 
date. 

His frequent changes of location while teaching were made 
for two reasons, — an increase of salary in each instance, and 
a desire to see different parts of the great West. 

He received the degree of Master of Arts in course. 

In his religious views, he is a Unitarian. In politics, he is 
a Republican. 

He was married July 1, 1872, to Miss Nanny Dean Nichols, 
of Berkeley, Massachusetts. They have no children. 



I?OMEI^ <§. FULLER. 

T^OMER TAYLOR FULLER, son of Sylvanus and Sarah 
Ay Maria (Taylor) Fuller, was born November 15, 1838, at 
Lempster, New Hampshire. He commenced his classical educa- 
tion at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, and 
entered college in the Fall of 1859, as a member of the class 
of '63. On account of ill health, he was obliged to leave in the 
Spring of i860, and spent a year in recuperating. He entered 
our class in the Spring of 1861. 

Immediately after graduating, he became Principal of Fre- 
donia Academy, Fredonia, New York, which position he occupied 
until March, 1867, when he decided to study for the ministry. 
He then went. to Andover, Massachusetts, and entered the Junior 
class of the Theological Seminary, where he remained until 
August, 1868, with the exception of a few weeks in the Spring 
of that year, when he taught in the Department of Natural 
Sciences at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire. 
He then went to Union Theological Seminary, New York City, 
where he graduated in May, 1869. For two months he taught 
at St. Johnsbury, Vermont. He was licensed to preach in Feb- 
ruary, 1869, by the New York Third Presbytery, and in October,

Church, at Peshtigo, Wisconsin. He was ordained at Fond du 
Lac, Wisconsin, in January, 1870, continuing his charge at Pesh- 
tigo until February, 187 1. He then accepted a call to become 



HOMER T. FULLER. 47 

Principal of the Academy at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, where he 
remained until August, 1882. In 1879, after eight years' work at 
the Academy, during which time the number of pupils was quad- 
rupled, and there were sent many of the best fitted students Old 
Dartmouth has had in late years, he was granted a year's leave 
of absence to go abroad. During that time he visited the Eng- 
lish great schools and universities; also the common, higher, 
normal and classical schools and universities of Germany. He 
visited Italy, Greece, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, the Troad and Con- 
stantinople. He also spent some time in France, Holland, Swit- 
zerland, Scotland and Ireland, having the company of Frary and 
True, of the class of '66, for much of the Eastern trip. 

In August, 1882, he received a call to become Principal of 
the Worcester Free Institute, at Worcester, Massachusetts, which 
he decided to accept chiefly because he felt the necessity of a 
change of climate. Upon his leaving St. Johnsbury, the follow- 
ing action was taken, which indicates the esteem in which he 

was held : 

St. Johnsbury, Vt., August 14, 1882. 

By Trustees of St. Johnsbury Academy, Resolved, That we put on record 

our appreciation of the great work accomplished by Mr. Fuller in organizing 

and systematizing the school, establishing its character and reputation, and 

securing its permanent usefulness ; also our sense of the heavy loss sustained 

by ourselves and our community in his removal from us. 

Edwin T. Fairbanks, Secretary of Trustees. 

Rev. H. T. Fuller, late Principal of St. Johnsbury Academy.

of the Academy. Please accept the same with our most cordial good wishes, 
and our great regret at your removal from our midst. 

Sincerely yours, 
Edwin T. Fairbanks, Secretary and Treasurer. 



48 HOMER T. FULLER. 

After his acceptance of the Principalship of the Worcester 
Free Institute, he had five months' leave of absence to visit 
Technical Schools. During this trip he saw the best Technical 
Schools of England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, 
Russia and Austria. He says he has no further desire to travel, 
but prefers the quiet of home, the luxury of study, and the so- 
ciety of friends. He delivered his inaugural address as Principal, 
June 28, 1 883, and occupies that position at the present time. 

He received the degree of Master of Arts in course. While 
he was abroad in 1880, he received the degree of Doctor of 
Philosophy from Dartmouth, without ever knowing how it came 
about. 

He was the State Editor for Vermont of the New England 
Journal of Education. In 1878 he was Vice-President of the 
American Institute of Instruction; President of Vermont State 
Teachers' Association, and Normal School Examiner for Vermont. 

He has read many interesting papers before different socie- 
ties, which have been published, one of which was on "Methods 
of Producing Steel," read before the Worcester Natural History 
Society, on January 12, 1884. 

He was married June 15, 1870, to Miss Etta Jones, of Fre- 
donia, New York. 

They have three children : Mary Breese, born August 30, 
1871; Henry Jones, born December 12, 1873, and Anna Tay- 
lor, born March 27, 1878. 



S5iiiLiAM <<5. Gage. 

7TVILLIAM TENNEY GAGE, son of William and Eleanor 
\XJ (Kimball) Gage, was born March 16, 1843, at Le Roy, 
Genesee County, New York. He pursued his preparatory 
studies at the High School in Concord, New Hampshire, and 
entered college at the beginning of the Spring term in March, 
1 86 1. In June, 1862, he became a member of the College 
Cavaliers, and served in Company B, Seventh Squadron, Rhode 
Island Cavalry. After a four months' campaign in Virginia, he 
returned to college and completed the course. 

Very soon after graduating, in the Fall of 1864, he took 
charge of a graded school at Anamosa, Iowa, where he remained 
for nearly two years. In 1866 he went to Highland, Kansas, 
to take charge of Highland University, as it was then called, 
though it was in reality a very undeveloped University. He 
remained there for seven years, and succeeded in building it 
up to the grade of its pretensions, with a full College Faculty 
and regular course of study, with a successful financial manage- 
ment, and good prospects for the future. The University is 
under strict Presbyterian management. 

In 1873 ne resigned his position there and accepted a call 
to occupy the chair of Professor of English Literature and 
History in the University of Kansas, which was situated at 
Lawrence, Kansas. He remained there for two years, when the 
more promising financial prospects of an offer to assume charge 



.50 WILLIAM T. GAGE. 

of the Hartford Female Seminary at Hartford, Connecticut, 
induced him to resign his position at Lawrence. This change 
occurred in 1875. He continued in charge of the Seminary 
until March, 1883, with flattering success. 

Having been desirous of making a change in his business, 
he went to Chicago, Illinois, in the Summer of 1882, spending 
his vacation during July and August as a solicitor of life 
insurance. He seemed especially fitted for this work, and was 
remarkably successful; so much so, that in March, 1883, he was 
appointed the General Agent of the .^Etna Life Insurance Com- 
pany, of Hartford, Connecticut, for the State of Michigan, with 
headquarters at Detroit, Michigan. He left the Seminary tem- 
porarily in charge of his wife, but during the past Winter he has 
disposed of his interest there, and at present resides with his 
family in Detroit, Michigan. He writes that business is good, 
and that he is winning his way. He also says: "if I continue 
in the business of life insurance, I shall be as ready to write 
up the class in my line as cheerfully as ' Web ' will write 
us all up historically." He has been a member of a Presby- 
terian and is now a member of a Congregational church. 
In politics, he is a Republican. 

He was married January 9, 1868, to Miss Elizabeth God- 
win, of Gloversville, New York. They have had three children : 
Elizabeth Helena, born June 18, 1869; William Henry, 
born October 24, 1872, and Alexander Kimball, born May 
17, 1874. 

Elizabeth Helena died March 22, 1884, at Hartford, Con- 
necticut. The Religious Herald, of Hartford, thus speaks of 
her: "We cannot refrain from giving expression to what may 
be called the public grief over the loss of one of the brightest, 
sweetest and most gifted girls whom death has claimed for a

long lime within the range of our acquaintance. Bessie Gage, 
the only daughter of Prof. W. T. Gage, recently the Principal 
of the Hartford Female Seminary, was snatched away within a 
week by fever. * * * There was so much blasted hope and 
blighted promise in her loss, that we can hardly give utterance 
to the depth of sorrow, not only in the hearts of the family, but 
of a very large circle of friends. Bessie was uncommonly beau- 
tiful, and in the graces of womanhood she was hardly surpassed 
by any. Radiant, exuberant, swiftly apprehensive of study, of a 
rare musical aptitude, bright in all social intercourse, she filled 
the horizon of observation in every circle in which she was 
present, and fascinated every eye. She was, of course, the dar- 
ling of her home, and the hopes of a brilliant and beneficent 
career are dashed in a moment." 

I know that every member of '64 will sincerely sympathize 
with our classmate in this his deep affection. 



(John <5. Gibson. 

JOHN TYLER GIBSON, son of Appleton and Lydia (Stone) 
Gibson, was born August 31, 1841, at Hopkinton, Massa-

this time he went to Peru, Illinois, as. Superintendent of Schools, 
where he remained only until July, 1870, when a consideration 
of salary induced him to return to Exeter, New Hampshire, and 
resume his position as Principal of the High School, which he 
occupied until March, 1872. From that date until July, 1872, 
he was the Sub-Master of the Winthrop School in Charlestown;

(Evarts) Greene, was born February n, 1843, at Roxbury, 
Massachusetts. He commenced his preparatory studies at the 
High School in Windsor, Vermont, and entered Middlebury 
College, Vermont, in the Spring of 1861, remaining there until

year, August 23, 1861. In June, 1862, he enlisted as a private 
in Company B, Seventh Squadron, Rhode Island Cavalry, and 
served four months in Virginia. Returning in the Fall of 1862, 
he completed the course. 

Immediately after graduating, he went to Palmyra, Wiscon- 
sin, where he taught school until June, 1865, at which time 
he removed to Waukegan, Illinois, where he taught for one 
year. In the Fall of 1866, having decided to study for the 
ministry, he entered the Chicago Theological Seminary, where 
he remained for one year. He then went to the Andover Theo- 
logical Seminary, where he continued his studies until he 
graduated in July, 1869. In November, 1869, he sailed for 
Japan, as a missionary under the auspices of the American 
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. He was the 
first missionary of the American Board to Japan. He arrived

DANIEL C. GREENE. 57 

until May, 1874. The first church was organized at Kobe on 
April 19, 1874, with eleven members. In 1882 there were 
nineteen churches with one thousand members. 

From Tune, 1874, until May, 1880, he resided in Yokohama, 
as a member of the committee for the translation of the New 
Testament into the Japanese language. After superintending 
the printing of this version, which was published in June, 
1880, he returned to the United States, where he spent about 
eighteen months, traveling through different parts of the country, 
and preaching in the interests of the American Board. He 
returned to Japan in November, 1881, and has been stationed 
since that time in Kioto, as an instructor in the Doshisha 
English School, his principal work being in the Theological 
Department. 

In addition to the Japanese version above alluded to, he 
also edited an edition of the Chinese New Testament, for the 
use of Japanese readers.

HATHANiBii U. Sanson. 

nATHANIEL LUTHER HANSON, son of Nathaniel and 
Margaret (Evans) Hanson, was born December 2, 1837, 
at Barnstead, New Hampshire. He received his preparatory- 
training at the Academy in New Hampton, New Hampshire, 
and entered Dartmouth College at the beginning of the Fall 
term, August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, he accepted the position of 
Principal of the Grammar School at Troy, Ohio, where he 
remained one year. In the Fall of 1865, he received an 
appointment to the Superintendency of the Public Schools of 
Sidney, Ohio, which position he occupied for three years. 
In the Fall of 1868, he accepted an invitation to become Prin- 
cipal of one of the Ward Schools at Columbus, Ohio ; but in 
December of the same year, he resigned the position and 
accepted a similar one at Dayton, Ohio, the call being con- 
siderably louder financially. He remained here for three years. 
In the Summer of 1871, being tired of teaching, and with not 
the best of health, he was glad of the opportunity for a change, 
and accepted an invitation to assume the management of the 
Bank located at Perrysburg, Ohio. 

The panic of 1873 brought the proprietors of this bank into 
embarrassing straits, and their failure in 1877 caused them to 
retire from the banking business, to which he succeeded, and 
he has since that time conducted the business of the Citizens' 



NATHANIEL L. HANSON. 59 

Bank on his own account, with both pleasure and profit. At 
the time of the failure in 1877, he suffered some in purse and 
feeling, but subsequent experiences have made good any loss 
^ therefrom, and contain prophecy of greater benefits to follow. 
He has built for himself a very comfortable home at Perrysburg, 
and knows Of no reason why he will not spend the remainder 
of his days there. As is fitting for our "monitor," he has 
evidently devoted himself to making his own mark in the 
world. 

He is a member of the Presbyterian church. In politics, he 
is a Republican. 

He was married December 18, 1868, to Miss Lida McCul- 
lough Murray, of Sidney, Ohio. They have had six children :

born October 1, 1871 ; Bessie Murray, born March 10, 1874; 
Fred. Green, born February 8, 1876; Raymond Evans, born 
June 3, 1877, and Luther Nelson, born January 24, 1882. 

Fred. Green died July 29, 1876. 

His eldest son, George Murray, is now studying in New 
Hampshire to prepare himself to enter Dartmouth College in 
1885.

'ILLIAM FRANCIS HARVEY, son of William and Amelia 
(Bliss) Harvey, was born October 10, 1838, at Royalton, 
Vermont. He received his preparatory education in the schools 
of his native town, and entered college at the beginning of the 
Fall term, August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, in the Fall of 1864, he began 
teaching school at South Royalton, Vermont, where he re- 
mained until March, ' 1865, when he received and accepted an 
appointment in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, 
Washington, D. C. While thus engaged, he commenced the 
study of medicine under the instruction of J. H. Baxter, M.D., 
Chief Medical Purveyor, U. S. A. He attended lectures and 
graduated at Georgetown Medical College in 1868, and imme- 
diately commenced the practice of his profession at Washing- 
ton, D. C. In the Fall and Winter of 1869-70, he attended 
lectures and clinics at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, 
and also at Bellevue Medical College, New York City. In 
April, 1873, he was appointed a clerk in the office of the 
Director of the Mint, at Washington, D. C, which position he 
has held continuously until the present time. He continued to 
practice medicine, mostly out of his office-hours at the Treasury 
and the Mint, until the Winter of 1877, when he was obliged 
to relinquish a growing and lucrative practice on account of ill 
health. He continued his duties, however, in the Mint until

October 10, 1882, when he returned to his old home at Royal- 
ton, Vermont, for a season of rest and recuperation. At last 
accounts he was gaining in strength, and expects to return to 
Washington, D. C, as soon as his health will permit. 

He is a Congregationalist in his religious views. In politics,

50HN U. Y^ILD^BJPH. 

JOHN LEWIS HILDRETH, son of John Caldwell and Harriet 
Maria (Blanchard) Hildreth, was born November 29, 1838, 
at Chelmsford, Massachusetts. He received his preparatory train- 
ing at Appleton Academy, New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and 
entered college at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, August 
24, i860. He left us at the close of Sophomore year, but in 
1879 ne returned to Hanover, and received his degree of 
Bachelor of Arts, as a member of the class of '64. He also 
received the degree of Master of Arts. 

After leaving college, in the Summer of 1862, he made 
a sea-voyage of two months for the benefit of his health. 
Upon his return, he went to Washington, D.C., with the 
expectation of entering the Service as Hospital Steward ; but 
being disappointed in that, he made application for a position 
in the United States Sanitary Commission, which he secured 
about eighteen months after reaching Washington. He was sent 
with General Banks on the Red River Campaign, and thence to 
New Orleans, Louisiana, to inspect the camps and hospitals in 
that Department, which service he performed until November, 
1864, when he was taken with a severe attack of diphtheria. 
His recovery was only partial, and he was sent home on a fur- 
lough, and finally left the Service in the Spring of 1865. He 
then went to Peterborough, New Hampshire, and became Prin- 
cipal of the Academy there, and at the same time pursued the 



JOHN L. HILDRETH. (53 

study of medicine. He went to Hanover, New Hampshire, in 
the Summer of 1867, and attended his final course of lectures 
at Dartmouth Medical College, receiving his degree of Doctor 
of Medicine in the Fall of that year. He began the practice of 
his profession immediately, at West Townsend, Massachusetts, 
where he remained until 1870, when he removed to Cambridge, 
Massachusetts, where he has continued in practice up to the 
present time, doing a very large and lucrative business. 

In June, 1878, he took a trip to Europe, being absent about 
five months, during which time he visited England, Ireland, 
Scotland, Germany, Holland, France, Switzerland and Italy. 
In the Summer of 1883, he made a visit to Dakota, and made 
some pecuniary investments. He is President of the Dakota 
Mortgage Loan Corporation, of Milnor, Dakota, the Eastern 
office of which is at 296 Washington street, Boston, Massachu- 
setts. 

He was married March 4, 1864, to Miss Achsah B. Colloi, 
of Temple, New Hampshire. They have three children : John 
Lewis, born in August, 1870; Beulah G., born in June, 1873, 
and Alfred H., born in September, 1874. 



I. Goodwin P)obbs. 

ICHABOD GOODWIN HOBBS, son of William and Sarah 
Elliott (Goodwin) Hobbs, was born March 13, 1843, at North 
Berwick, Maine. He began his preparatory studies at the 
Academy in South Berwick, Maine, and entered college at the 
beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, in August, 1864, he entered the 
United States Navy, as Acting Assistant Paymaster. He was 
attached to the U. S. steamer Unadilla, and participated in both 
engagements at Fort Fisher, and later in the James River, at 
the fall of Richmond, Virginia. He was commissioned Assistant 
Paymaster in the Regular Service in February, 1867, and pro- 
moted to Passed Assistant Paymaster in September, 1868. For 
over three years he served in the home squadron on board the 
steamers Ascnt?iey and Tallapoosa. During the years 187 1-2, he 
was on duty in the Navy Department at Washington, D. C. 
In June, 1872, he sailed from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on 
the U. S. steamer Tuscarora, for the Pacific Ocean, and returned 
home on the completion of the cruise, in September, 1875. 
Some very important work was done during that time. Two 
lines of deep-sea soundings were completed across the Pacific ; 
one from San Diego, California, to Yokohama, Japan, touching 
at Honolulu and the Bonin Islands, and on the return from 
Japan by the northern route, touching at the islands of Tanaga 
and Ounalaska, in the Aleutian group, and thence to Cape 



/. GOODWIN HO BBS. 65 

Flattery. Soundings were also made off and on the coast from 
Cape Flattery to San Diego, California, to determine the true 
continental outline, and also an additional line from San Fran- 
cisco, California, to Honolulu. Nineteen thousand miles of 
deep-sea soundings were completed, and the deepest water ever 
recorded was accurately sounded, namely, five and one-quarter 
statute mi/es. 

On returning from this cruise, he was attached to the U. S. 
steamer Despatch, and cruised in the Mediterranean Sea, and 
was afterward stationed at Constantinople, near the close of the 
Turko-Russian war. Here he had the pleasure of lunching with 
the gallant General Skobeleff. While stationed here, he em- 
braced the opportunity for a trip to the Holy Land. After an 
absence of over three years, he was detached from the Despatch 
and came home, visiting Paris during the Exposition, and also 
London, on the way. After "waiting orders" for a short time, 
he was ordered to the Torpedo Station at Newport, Rhode 
Island, where he remained until September, 1882. In 1879 ne 
was promoted to full Paymaster, which position he holds at 
present. 

He was next ordered to the U. S. Steamer Juniata, and 
sailed from New York City November 28, 1882. I have received 
from him two long letters, giving very full and interesting 
accounts of his present cruise. Space will only allow of a brief 
abstract. He stopped first at Fayal for several weeks, thence to 
Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria and Cairo, in Egypt ; through the 
Suez Canal, calling at Muscat, thence up the Persian Gulf, and 
to Bussorah, a place eighty miles up the Euphrates River. From 
there he went to Bombay, Colombo, Madras, Calcutta, Rangoon 
and Singapore, arriving there just after the disastrous earthquake 
in the Strait of Sunda. There they received orders from our 
5 



66 /• GOODWIN HO BBS. 

Government by cable to proceed to the Strait, and ascertain the 
dangers to navigation, and warn vessels. They surveyed the 
situation and found scenes of desolation and destruction. Aujer 
Point, a week before, had been a town of twelve thousand inhab- 
itants, but now not a soul was left to tell the tale. It was an 
important place of call for all deep-water ships from Europe or 
America to China, for fresh water and provisions. It contained 
many large buildings, a telegraph station for cables, and an 
important lighthouse. After the eruption of Krakatoa, there 
came a tidal wave, forty feet high, which swept over the point, 
carrying everything down, not a tree or building being left 
standing. They anchored for two nights immediately under the 
island of Krakatoa, the cause of all this disaster. This island 
was 2,600 feet high, and it was split in two perpendicularly from 
the crater by the earthquake, one half disappearing in the sea, 
leaving a perpendicular wall 2,600 feet high on one side. It 
was still smoking when he was there, and he said it made him 
feel as though his little boy wanted to see him ! 

From there he went to Batavia, where they received orders 
to go to Hong Kong, China. On the voyage, they experienced 
a severe typhoon, which blew one of the ship's boats from the 
davits; but they weathered it safely, and arrived at Kong Kong 
October 2, 1883. Here they received orders to proceed imme- 
diately to Canton, China, to look after American interests. He 
writes me from Canton, under date of December 9, 1883, giving 
a full description of the place, and the warlike preparations being 
made by the Chinese. 

His future course will be to Nagasaki, Shanghai, Korea and 
Yokohama ; thence to Australia, the islands of the Pacific, San 
Francisco and home, expecting to arrive in the Fall of 1885. 






/. GOODWIN HOBBS. 67 

He writes that they have everywhere been the recipients of the 
most bountiful hospitality. 

In his religious views, he is an Episcopalian. In politics, he 
is a Republican. 

He was married June 28, 1882, to Miss Maud Hazard, of 
Newport, Rhode Island. They have one child, Goodwin, born 
June 1, 1883.

GLIAS WILKINS HOWE, son of Frederick and Mary (Wil- 
kins) Howe, was born September 21, 1842, at Danvers, 
Massachusetts. He commenced his classical studies at Phillips 
Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and entered college at the 
beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, in August, 1864, he went on a 
visit to Providence, Rhode Island, and was there suddenly inspired 
with a patriotic ardor to serve his country. He accordingly went 
to Boston, Massachusetts, and, after a satisfactory examination, was 
accepted as a member of Company E, First Battalion, Heavy Ar- 
tillery, Massachusetts Volunteers. He was sent with the company 
to Fort Warren, Boston Harbor, where the battalion was stationed 
on garrison duty for the whole period of his enlistment. This 
was a source of deep regret to him, and served to somewhat cool 
his military ardor, for he had firmly expected, upon enlistment, 
that the battalion would be sent to the front upon active service. 
He was almost immediately promoted to be Quartermaster Ser- 
geant of his company, which position he filled with great credit 
until the expiration of his term of service. He was honorably 
discharged at Fort Warren on July 3, 1865. 

After spending a few. months at his home in Danvers, he went 
to Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he taught school until Janu- 
ary, 1866, when he went to Bridgeport, Connecticut, as book- 
keeper for the Howe Sewing Machine Company, which situation 









ELIAS W. HOWE. 09 

he occupied until April, 1868. In June, 1868, he went West on 
a prospecting tour as far as Ohio; and having received an advan- 
tageous offer to become the Superintendent of Union Schools at 
Dresden, Ohio, he removed to that place, and assumed his duties 
there in September, 1868. He remained there until the Summer 
of 1 87 1, when, being grievously afflicted with the ague, he was 
obliged to make a change and return to the East. In Septem- 
ber, 187 1, he accepted a call to become Principal of the Graded 
School at North Bennington, Vermont, a position which he has 
ably and satisfactorily filled up to the present time. He has the 
reputation of being one of the very best of teachers. 

He has made several pleasure trips to the West as far as Chi- 
cago, where he was the guest of the writer of this history. Many 
happy hours were spent in living over again our college days, to 
our mutual enjoyment and satisfaction. 

His religious preference is for the Congregational church. In 
politics, he is a Republican. 

He was married December 15, 1871, to Miss Grace D. Sar- 
gent, of Gloucester, Massachusetts. They have one child, May 
W t ebster, born September 22, 1872. 



Gdwai^d R Johnson. 

GDWARD FRANCIS JOHNSON, son of Noah and Letitia 
Margaret (Claggett) Johnson, was born October 21, 1842, 
at Hollis, New Hampshire. He received his preparatory educa- 
tion at Nashua, New Hampshire, and entered college at the be- 
ginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduation, he went to Hollis, New 
Hampshire, where he taught school until the Winter of 1864, 
at which time he entered the office of William Barrett, Esq., 
of Nashua, New Hampshire, and commenced the study of law. 
He was a student at Harvard Law School from September, 
1865, until June, 1866, at which date he was admitted to the 
bar of Suffolk County, at Boston, Massachusetts. He then re- 
turned to the office of William Barrett, Esq., at Nashua, New 
Hampshire, and remained there until October, 1866, when he 
formed a copartnership with James T. Joslyn, Esq., and prac- 
tised his profession at Hudson, Massachusetts, until April, 1867, 
when they opened another office at Marlborough, Massachusetts, 
where he has since resided. He has a constantly growing 
practice in a town which has doubled its population since he 
has been there. In June, 1882, he was commissioned as Judge 
of the Police Court in Marlborough, which office he still holds. 
He has an office at 28 State street, Boston, Massachusetts, 
where he attends to legal business from nine o'clock in the 
morning until two o'clock in the afternoon, returning to Marl- 
borough after that hour and holding court daily.

F)05EA I^INGMAN. 



T^OSEA KINGMAN, son of Philip D. and Betsey B. (Wash- 
Ay burne) Kingman, was born April n, 1843, at Bridgewater, 
Massachusetts. He began his classical studies at Appleton 
Academy, New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and entered college 
at the beginning of Sophomore year, in the Fall of 1861. 
During Junior year, he enlisted in the army and served for one 
year, when he returned to our class and completed the regular 
course. 

Immediately after graduating, he entered the office of William 
Latham, Esq., in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and commenced 
the study of law. He continued his studies there until June 
21, 1866, when he was admitted to the bar of Plymouth 
county, Massachusetts. He immediately entered upon the prac- 
tice of his profession in company with William Latham, Esq., 
at Bridgewater, Massachusetts. This copartnership continued 
until October, 1873, at which time Mr. Latham retired from 
practice, and he has continued alone up to the present time. 

He was appointed a Justice of the Peace November 8, 
1865. He was also appointed a Captain in the State Militia 
in 1866, and held that position for one year. He has been 
a Notary Public since November 15, 1873; Commissioner of 
Insolvency since November 23, 1877; Special Justice of the 
First District Court of Plymouth County since November 12, 
1878, and City Solicitor of the city of Brockton, Massachusetts, 
since March 5, 1883. 



HO SEA KINGMAN. 73 

All of these official positions he continues to hold at the 
present time, with the single exception of Captain of Militia, 
and, taken in connection with his regular legal practice, they 
keep him crowded full of work all the time. 

His religious preferences are Unitarian. In politics, he is 
a Republican. 

He was married June 21, 1866, to Miss Carrie Cole, of 
North Carver, Massachusetts. They have one child, Agnes 
Cole, born October 28, 1867. 



GUGBNB LffiWIS. 

eUGENE LEWIS, son of George Gilbert and Adeline (Laba- 
ree) Lewis, was born March n, 1839, at Claremont, New. 
Hampshire. He received his preparatory training at Kimball 
Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, and entered college 
at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. 

After graduating, he went to Palmyra, Wisconsin, in August, 
1864, and accepted the position of Superintendent of Schools. 
On November 8, 1864, he had a severe hemorrhage of the 
lungs, which compelled him to give up his position. He re- 
turned to Claremont, New Hampshire, and as soon as his health 
was sufficiently restored, continued the study of law, which he 
had begun previously, in the office of Hon. H. W. Parker. He 
was admitted to the bar of Sullivan County, New Hampshire, in 
January, 1866. He commenced the practice of his profession at 
Peterborough, New Hampshire, in May, 1866, and remained 
there until June, 1869. In July, 1869, he went to Moline, 
Illinois, and established himself in legal practice, continuing 
there until the present time. 

He was the City Attorney of Moline for two terms. The 
State of Illinois is indebted to him for the bill allowing cities 
and towns to establish Free Public Libraries, and mainly by his 
efforts also, the Public Library of Moline was opened. 

In the Century magazine for January, 1884, he has pub- 
lished an open letter on "Our Jury System," which was called 



EUGENE LEWIS. 75 

forth by some previous articles on the subject in the same maga- 
zine, in which he takes the ground that our present system is 
not a failure. He considers the subject under three heads ; 
first, its direct effect upon the administration of justice ; second, 
its ultimate effect upon the constitution and character of the 
new tribunal; and third, its effect upon public opinion regard- 
ing the administration of justice. 

His religious preference is Unitarian. In politics, he is a 
Democrat. 

He was married June 4, 1873, t0 Miss Susan P. Smith, of 
Peterborough, New Hampshire. She was a niece of the late 
Professor Albert Smith, of Dartmouth Medical College. They 
had one child : Theodore Greene, born July 3, 1876. 

Mrs. Lewis died September 26, 1877, aged thirty-three years. 
On the day of the funeral, the Court adjourned for the day in 
her honor, and the Judge and members of the bar generally 
attended the obsequies. 

Theodore Greene died April 13, 1877. 

He was married, second, October 27, 1881, to Miss Caroline 
Lee, of Davenport, Iowa. They have no children. 



7TVARREN McCLINTOCK, son of Luke and Nancy Bradford 
\AJ (Gould) McClintock, was born October 4, 1837, at Hills- 
borough, New Hampshire. He prepared himself for college at 
Appleton Academy, New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and entered 
Dartmouth on August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, he went to Waynesville, Ohio, 
and took charge of the Public Schools, a position which he filled 
with great credit for two years. 

In 1866 he accepted a call to take charge of the High 
School at Covington, Kentucky ; but not enjoying the climate of 
that state, he resigned his position after one year. He was then 
offered the position of Superintendent of Public Schools of Lon- 
don, Ohio, which he accepted in the Fall of 1867, and filled the 
place with great satisfaction until the time of his death. In the 
Summer of 1870, while traveling in the East, he had an attack 
of pneumonia, from which he never fully recovered. Lung 
troubles were hereditary in his family. In 1871 he went to 
Wisconsin, hoping that a change of climate would benefit him; 
and after spending three months there, he returned to London, 
feeling much better. In the Summer of 1871, his brother James, 
who had just graduated from Dartmouth, came to his house a 
consumptive, on his way to Colorado; but not being able to 
travel further, he remained at Warren's house until he died, 
which was November 11, 187 1. 



WARREN McCLINTOCK, 77 

The care and anxiety for his brother was too much for one 
in his condition, and probably did much toward shortening his 
life. He was able to be out until a week before, his death, and 
was only confined to his bed for two days. He sank rapidly, 
and passed away on February 29, 1872, at London, Ohio, where 
he was buried temporarily. In 1876 his remains were removed 
to Hillsboro, New Hampshire, for final interment: 

"Among familiar names to rest, 
And in the places of his youth." 

He was married December 24, 1868, at Columbus, Ohio, to 
Miss Augusta Balthis, of London, Ohio, who survives him. 

It is certainly most appropriate to add the following tribute 
to the memory of our beloved classmate, from the pen of his 
most intimate friend, our classmate Hanson : 

By his death, the class of '64 sustains an irreparable loss of one whose 
promise of usefulness to the world was well attested by his noble qualities of 
mind and heart; the record of whose career was destined to supply an hon- 
ored page in the annals of our Alma Mater. Perhaps no one cherished class tra- 
ditions more than he, realizing that upon the character and achievements of 
its individual members rested its honor. There is, indeed, no association of 
our class that does not "breathe gracious memories" of our beloved friend. 
No worthy tribute can be paid to a life so brief, that does not suggest what 
he was, rather than what he did. His parents lived upon a farm, where the 
meagre advantages of a country school for a few months of each year afforded 
little opportunity to gratify his growing thirst for knowledge ; but even here 
he qualified himself for teaching at the early age of sixteen. His ambition 
to obtain a collegiate education was not approved, and hence he was obliged 
to rely mainly upon his own resources, thus acquiring frugal and industrious 
■ habits, and becoming imbued with a self-reliant spirit. Throughout his college 
course, he maintained a high and uniform grade. He aimed, not to com- 
mand admiration by eccentric brilliancy, but rather to lay the basis of a cul- 
ture in keeping with his character, broad, symmetrical, full; reading extensively, 
and meeting the demands of the course without apparent effort. And there 



78 WARREN MCCLINTOCK. 

was not lacking evidence of reserve power which, had he been more aggres- 
sive or self-asserting, would have given him preeminence. While his abilities 
under the tests of the recitation-room were recognized by all, to those fortu- 
nate enough to know him intimately there were many points in his character 
of commanding interest, and fascination even. There were no moral defects 
to mar the nice balancing of gentleness and strength, modesty and courage. 
There was never wanting a manly purpose ; and if he engaged in the recrea- 
tions of his companions, it was with proper regard for health, or custom, for 
he had no special fondness for sports. Pure in heart as in life, and respect- 
ing the privileges of others, he had none of those frivolous dissipations which 
often engross the time and constitute too large a share of the social life of 
the student. The scrupulous integrity with which he discharged every obli- 
gation, and the serenity of his disposition, were an inspiration to us, while he won 
our affections by his imperturbable good nature. He seemed incapable of sel- 
fishness or resentment. The placid brow, the tranquil spirit, and steady pur- 
pose in the presence of what we term the conflicts of life, revealed a character 
that insured success in any career. He was too modest to seek preferment, 
but accepted responsibility presented in the form of duty. Such men are strong, 
consistent and self-poised. He made no public profession of his religious faith 
while with us, but was thoughtful, reverent and attentive to sacred things, and 
it is impossible to believe there was indifference beneath so much outward 
grace. His lack of demonstrativeness, as in all so constituted, suggests the 
profounder feeling and deeper spiritual impulses. Such, we may believe, were 
his experiences, for we learn that when the hour of supreme trial came, he felt 
himself "prepared to die as well as live."

A' 



LBERT WESTON MOORE, son of Hugh Kelsea and Mary 
Ann (Connor) Moore, was born August 29, 1842, at 
Boston, Massachusetts. He fitted for college at the private 
school of A. K. Hathaway, in Medford, Massachusetts, and 
entered Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall term, August 
24, i860. 

After graduation, he received the promise of an appointment 
in the U. S. Army Engineer Corps, and waited for it with 
commendable patience until March, 1865, when, failing to 
receive it, he accepted a position as bookkeeper for the 
American Steam Gauge Company, of Boston, Massachusetts, 
where he remained until September, 1869. During this time, he 
had given up the intention of studying law, or any other pro- 
fession ; but he gradually came to a resolution to study for the 
ministry, and accordingly entered the Andover Theological 
Seminary in the Fall of 1869, and graduated from that Seminary 
in June, 1872. In November, 1872, he accepted an invitation 
to preach for one year in the Congregational Church at Black- 
stone, Massachusetts. He was ordained January 22, 1873, ar >d 
made a more permanent arrangement with the same church. 
He remained there until July, 1874, when he resigned, and 
took up his residence at Maiden, Massachusetts, only preaching 
occasionally until July, 1875, wnen ne accepted the pastorate 
of the Congregational Church at Bristol, New Hampshire, where 



80 ALBERT W. MOORE. 

he remained until May, 1877. For the next two years he had 
no permanent charge, but resided at Maiden, Massachusetts, and 
supplied pulpits as the opportunity offered. 

In April, 1879, ne was called to the Congregational Church at 
Farmington, Maine, over which he was installed as pastor Feb- 
ruary 2, 1 88 1. He resigned his pastorate there in order to 
accept a unanimous call to the Central Congregational Church 
at Lynn, Massachusetts, where he was installed November 8, 
1882. He has continued his labors there with much success up 
to the present date. 

On October 1, 1883, he read before the Boston Ministers' 
Meeting an elaborate and exhaustive paper on "The true 
Sources of Religious Confidence," which was published entire 
in the Congregationalist of the following week. That paper 
says editorially, "that no paper before the Ministers' Meeting 
for a long time has awakened so large interest, and given such 
deep gratification by its boldness, firmness, and strong grasp of 
its subject. In many respects, it is a model of research, discrimi- 
nation and force." 

He received the degree of Master of Arts in course. 

In politics, he is an Independent Republican. 

He was married July 20, 1869, to Miss S. Fanny Norton, of 
Maiden, Massachusetts. They have had seven children : Walter 
Goodenow, born November 29, 1870; Hugh Kelsea, born Jan- 
uary 3, 1872; Alice Wood, born November 7, 1873; Mary 
Wilson Lane, born January 21, 1875 J Horace Dwight, born 
August 14, 1877; Clara Abbott, born January 30, 1879; an d 
Mabel Cutler, born December 6, 1880. 

Alice Wood died October 2, 1874; Clara Abbott died 
September 30, 1879; Mary Wilson Lane died May 13, 1880. 



George B. Highols. 

GEORGE BRADFORD NICHOLS, son of Joel Cook and 
Clarissa (Barnes) Nichols, was born December 23, 1839, at 
East Montpelier, Vermont. He received his Academic educa- 
tion at Barre, Vermont, and entered college at the beginning of 
Freshman Fall term, August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, he went to Poughkeepsie, New 
York, where he pursued a course of instruction in Eastman's 
Business College, remaining until the Spring of 1865. In May, 
1865, he went to Chicago, Illinois, and- was engaged as a 
draughtsman in a patent-law office. In 1868 he went into the 
hardwood lumber trade, with the firm of Henry N. Holden 
& Co., and continued his position there until the Fall of 1881. 

In 1870 he began to be interested in the study of medicine, 
and read medical works at his leisure. He also attended the 
medical societies as a stenographer, both for practice in steno- 
graphy and for the information to be derived from the discus- 
sions. In the Fall of 1881, he entered Rush Medical College, 
Chicago, and graduated on February 20, 1883, at the same 
institution, in a class of one hundred and seventy-nine. 

After a few months' practice of his profession in Chicago, he 
was called East for the purpose of settling up the estate of his 
mother, who had recently died, at his former home in East 
Montpelier, Vermont. He entered into practice here, making 
diseases of the eye and ear a specialty, remaining until March 
6

12, 1884, when he purchased a house and seven acres of land 
in the viliage of Barre, Vermont, where he removed and has 
settled down to practice his profession. He made this change 
for two reasons, one being that it is a central location for sev- 
eral towns, and therefore a good business point ; the other being 
to educate his children at the school where he received his 
preparatory education. 

In his religious views, he is Independent. In politics, he is a 
Republican. 

He was married November 19, 1866, to Miss Emma A. Davis, 
■of Plainfield, Vermont. They have had three children, Myrtie 
E., born April 4, 1868; Mortimer G., born October 5, 1872, 
and Madine C, born October 8, 1875. 

Myrtie E. died March 24, 1872.

tion of his preparatory education in part at the High School in 
Manchester, New Hampshire, and partly at Hanover. New Hamp- 
shire, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, 
August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, he went to Washington, D. C, 
and accepted a position as clerk in the Treasury Department, 
where he remained until August, 1866. During the period of 
his clerkship, he pursued the study of law, and attended lectures 
at Columbian Law School, Washington, D. C, from which school 
he received the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1866. He has 
never practised his profession of law. In August, 1866, he 
removed to New York City, where he received an appointment 
as clerk in the Coupon Division of the United States Sub- 
Treasury. In July, 1868, he was appointed Deputy United 
States Assistant Treasurer, which position he occupied until 
June 8, 1882, at which time he was elected Assistant Cashier of 
the Fourth National Bank of New York City, which office of 
trust he holds at the present time. As to any other positions 
of trust, he says he doesn't ask anybody to trust him. 

He is a member of the Presbyterian church. In politics, he 
is an Independent Republican.

LCEANDBI^ U. H. I^EG^. 

EEANDER VAN NESS PECK, son of Zia and Sarah (Camp- 
^ bell) Peck, was born April 2, 1836, at Acworth, New- 
Hampshire. He received his Academic education at New Lon- 
don, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of 
Freshman year, August 24, i860. 

After graduating, he made two unsuccessful attempts to enter 
the army, but was refused each time on account of nearsighted- 
ness. In September, 1864, he took charge of the Mathematical 
Department of the Military Institute at Poughkeepsie, New 
York, and held that situation for one year. In September, 1865. 
he opened a Select School at Mendham, New Jersey, but was 
recalled to Poughkeepsie in September, 1866, and remained 
there until July, 1868. He then went to Boston, Massachusetts, 
and engaged in the fire and life insurance business, until April, 
1869, when he moved to Chelsea, Massachusetts, and became 
connected with a publishing firm. 

In September, 1870, he again joined the ranks of teachers, 
and became Principal of the Grammar School at Marblehead, 
Massachusetts. In the Spring of 1871, he took charge of a large 
school at Norwood, Massachusetts, where he remained two years. 
In April, 1873, ne removed to South Natick, Massachusetts, 
where he taught until 1879, at which time he gave up the pro- 
fession of teaching. He has continued to make his residence at 
South Natick up to the present time. Since 1879, ne nas na d

more or less private pupils, has written for the newspapers, and 
has occasionally attempted something more elaborate in the line 
of editorial work. He is at present engaged especially in look- 
ing after invested funds, which, though not large, are amply 
sufficient, he thinks, to keep him out of Tewksbury. 

He has been, for the past eight years, the Secretary of the 
South Natick Historical, Natural History and Library Society. 
He is Clerk of the John Elliot Congregational Church, and 
Superintendent of the Sunday School. He also takes an active 
interest in temperance work. 

In politics, he is a Republican, though he confesses that he 
voted for General B. F. Butler, for Governor of Massachusetts, 
in 1882, "just to see what the old man would do." It is pre- 
sumed that he saw. 

In October, 1883, he was appointed to a position in the 
Custom House at Boston, Massachusetts. It was the first ap- 
pointment to the Appraiser's Department in the Custom House 
under the Civil Service Reform rules. 

He also had the sad experience of receiving a majority of 
the votes cast for member of the School Committee, but was 
declared not elected, by unscrupulous politicians who assumed 
control of the votes. 

He was married April 9, 1865, to Miss Jennie M. Harris, 
of Acton, Massachusetts. They have one child, Carrie Ade- 
laide, born August 21, 1873. 






J' 



OHN CARROLL PROCTOR was the son of James Hervey 
and Eliza (Brown) Proctor. He was born October 26, 1840, 
at Manchester, New Hampshire. He commenced his preparatory 
education at the High School at Lowell, Massachusetts, and 
entered Dartmouth College at the beginning of Freshman year, 
August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, he taught for one year in a 
Young Ladies' Seminary at Castleton, Vermont. From September, 
1865, until March, 1866, he was Principal of the Holten High 
School at Danvers, Massachusetts. He was then for one year 
Assistant in Latin and Greek in Phillips Academy, Andover, 
Massachusetts. He entered Andover Theological Seminary in 
September, 1867, and remained one year, when he received the 
appointment of tutor of Greek in Dartmouth College, which 
position he held until July, 1870, when he was elected Professor 
of Greek Language and Literature in the same institution. He 
took the degree of Master of Arts in course, delivering the Mas- 
ter's oration. When he accepted the position of tutor, he did it 
with the intention of returning to Andover Theological Seminary 
after one year. He fully meant to prepare himself for the min- 
istry, which was decidedly his chosen profession. He sometimes 
regretted his decision, but he knew that his throat would never 
bear the strain of preaching. After accepting the Professorship 
of Greek, he felt deeply his inadequate preparation, especially 



38 JOHN C. PROCTOR. 

his ignorance of the German language, and his consequent lack 
of access to German scholarship on the classics. This prompted 
his strong desire to go to Germany, and as soon as he could 
arrange it he went in the Fall of 1872. He spent the first three 
months in Berlin, in a German family, where he was obliged to 
speak and hear the language altogether, and, under the private 
instruction of a Dr. Staettbagen, he made rapid progress in 
the knowledge and use of the language, to learning which he 
devoted nearly all his time, only giving a few days before leav- 
ing to examining objects of interest in the city. He very much 
enjoyed the music there, — Wagner's operas, etc., — and also the 
casts of the Antiques in the Museum, especially those connected 
with Grecian art. He spent the next four months in Leipsic, 
continuing his studies with a private teacher and attending 
lecture's at the University ; he also studied distinguished German 
critiques of Greek authors, and also commenced the study of 
Sanscrit. 

He had expected to make a short trip to Athens and Rome, 
but his time was limited and he was obliged to give it up and 
content himself with a three weeks' tour through Switzerland, 
France and England. This opportunity for travel and study was 
of great advantage to him in every way ; he gained in health 
and strength, as well as in the acquisition of knowledge per- 
taining to his department. He returned to Hanover at the 
beginning of the Fall term in 1873, an d continued his duties. 
His life was a very sedentary one, being a very close and con- 
scientious student in his department, and had he lived he would 
certainly have attained rank with the highest as a Greek scholar. 
He gave a great deal of thought to religious matters during the 
last two years of his life. Philology and some scientific subjects 
interested him greatly. To give some idea of how fully he 



JOHN C. PROCTOR. ><» 

occupied his time, I quote from a letter which he wrote in 
December, 1878, to his old friend Cyrus Richardson: "Just 
now I am reading a little book by Lacombe, a ' Short History 
of the French People.' Have read it once, and am going 
through it again. I find I must go through Guizot and Hallam's 
Middle Ages before I lay the thing down. Have taken up again 
the study of Sanscrit, and am reading an Epic in that tongue. 
Have also opened this year two new authors in our Greek 
course, Aristotle aud Lucian. Last year I read Aristophanes, 
Pindar and Theocritus for the first time entire, and re-read them 
all — Pindar and Theocritus several times. This year I have also 
been reading the Latin comedian Plautus somewhat, but have got 
over only three plays yet. I have an exposition of Kant's 
" Critique der reinen Verunnft," by a Scotchman named Caird, 
which I hope to read before Commencement. Add to this that 
I am Clerk of the Faculty/ and have one hundred and twenty- 
five bills to make out quarterly for our Aqueduct Company, and 
have a couple of recitations each day, and a l biblical ' on Sun- 
day, which are my first duties, though put last. I have much 
to be thankful for in these elevating and useful labors. I get 
fearfully tired sometimes, but a little rest makes me grateful and 
eager for new exertions." 

He lived too fast mentally for his weak bodily frame, so 
that he was illy prepared to withstand his last sickness. He 
was taken ill with pneumonia on Friday, October 17, 1879. At 
first the case was not considered serious, but it gradually assumed 
a more threatening character, and he passed away suddenly on 
Monday evening, October 27, 1879, without giving any sign that 
he was aware of approaching dissolution. All exercises were 
suspended at the college until after the funeral, which occurred 
on Thursday, October 30, 1879.

He was married December 7, 1870, to Miss Adeline E. 
Young, of Hanover, New Hampshire, who survives him. They 
had three children: John Harvey, born October 19, 1871 ;

©YI^US I^IGHAI^DSON. 

/TYRUS RICHARDSON, son of Samuel and Hannah (Varnum) 
yJ Richardson, was born March 30, 1840, at Dracut, Massa- 
chusetts. He received his Academic education at Tilton, New 
Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall 
term, August 24, i860. 

Immediately after graduating, he went to Cincinnati, Ohio, 
where he taught Latin and Natural Sciences in a Young Ladies' 
Seminary for two years. He spent his afternoons, during a large 
part of this time, in the study of anatomy and physiology, and 
also attended one course of lectures on those subjects, not so 
much with a view to practice medicine as to get an insight into 
those branches. In September, 1866, he returned to the East, 
and entered Andover Theological Seminary, where he graduated 
after the full course in July, 1869. He received a call to be- 
come pastor of the Congregational Church at Plymouth, New 
Hampshire, which he accepted, and was ordained and installed 
over that church on September 30, 1869. 

He continued his labors there with good results until the 
Summer of 1873, wn ^n he received a call from the First Con- 
gregational Church at Keene, New Hampshire, which he accepted, 
and was installed July 10, 1873. He remained here for ten 
years. On June 1, 1883, at a meeting of the First Congrega-

he preached his farewell sermon at Keene, to a congregation

sented, on behalf of the Sabbath school, with an elegant gold 
watch, chain and charm. On the outside of the watch is en- 
graved an exact picture of the First Congregational Church of 
Keene, while upon the inside is a suitable inscription. He re-

napkin ring. 

The pastors of the churches of other denominations in the

George I7. ffl. I^owe. 

GEORGE HOWARD MALCOLM ROWE, son of Jonathan 
and Maria Louisa (Morrison) Rowe, was born February i, 
184-r, at Lowell, Massachusetts. He commenced his preparatory 
studies at Phillips Academy, Exeter, New Hampshire, and en-

96 GEORGE H. M. ROWE. 

His duties here are very arduous, but that they are satisfac- 
torily performed is attested by the fact of his re-election for 
three successive terms to such a responsible position. 

He has never been engaged in private practice. He is a 
member of the leading Medical Societies of Boston, and also of 
the • American Public Health Association. On March 5, 1883, 
he read a very interesting paper before the Boston Society of 
Medical Observation, on " The Training of Nurses," which 
was published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of 

July 5, ^3- 

In September and October, 1883, he took a trip for re- 
laxation and pleasure, visiting Baltimore, Washington, Cincin- 
nati, St. Louis and Chicago. 

His religious convictions are based on the "Golden Rule" 
and the " Sermon on the Mount." In politics, he is a con- 
servative Republican. 

We wish we could add, "He was married," etc.; but truth 
compels us to say that he has never married. We sincerely 
hope his case is not a hopeless one. 



gJagob O. Sanborn. 

JACOB OSBORNE SANBORN, son of Daniel Ladd and 
Adah Shepard (Moore) Sanborn, was born July 6, 1840, at 
Loudon Centre, New. Hampshire. He received his Academic 
education at New Hampton, New Hampshire, and entered Dart- 
mouth at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. 

He had resolved in early youth to adopt the profession of 
teaching, his first attempt being a school at Gilmanton, New 
Hampshire, when he was sixteen years of age. In the light of 
modern ideas, he now questions whether he taught or simply 
kept the school. 

Before graduating, he was engaged to take charge of the 
Grammar School at South Hingham, Massachusetts, and entered 
upon his duties there in August. 1864. 

He remained there until the Spring of 1866, when, in a com- 
petitive examination, he was the successful candidate for the 
position of Principal of the Cradock Grammar School at Med- 
ford, Massachusetts. He w T as soon after elected Principal of the 
High School at Needham, Massachusetts, but for good and suffi- 
cient reasons he declined the position and remained at Med- 
ford until November, 1868, at which time he removed to Win- 
chester, Massachusetts, and assumed the duties of Principal of 
the Grammar School. While there, he was presented with a 
handsome gold watch, which would indicate the esteem in which 
he was held. Although he had a liberal salary among a very 
7 



98 JACOB O. SANBORN. 

intelligent and appreciative people, he preferred to teach in a 
school of higher grade, and accepted an invitation to become 
Master of the High School at Hin gharri, Massachusetts. In the 
Summer of 1872, he moved to his present field of labor. In this 
ancient and honorable town there had been an Academy for 
nearly seventy-five years; but as it did not meet the growing 
wants of all its people, the town made a very liberal appropria- 
tion to establish a free High School. He had the pleasure of 
organizing the school in September, 1872, and has been its only 
Principal. 

In the Fall of 1873, ne was invited and urged to return to 
Winchester, Massachusetts, as Principal of the High School, but 
thought best to decline. 

With no further fluctuations of place, he has been, for the 
past twelve years, anchored to the South Shore, so near to Ply- 
mouth Rock that he frequently hears from the Pilgrim Fathers. 

He feels a pride, in common with other residents of Hing- 
ham, that the town is taxed more proportionately for educa- 
tional purposes than most towns in Massachusetts, and has the 
reputation of supporting good schools. They also have the 
oldest church in the United States used for public worship, and 
have given the State two noble Governors, Andrew and Long. 

He is still teaching, and hopes to die in the harness. He 
has been absent from school but three or four days on account 
of sickness since leaving college, and, were he to begin life again, 
would select the same calling, from which it may be inferred 
that he does not find it irksome. His school has a good physi- 
cal apparatus and chemical laboratory, and he aims to teach 
according to the latest and best methods. 

He has been honored with no title but pedagogue, and 



JACOB O. SANBORN. 99 

although living where governors are made, does not expect or 
aspire to be one. 

He has twice been elected President of the Plymouth County- 
Teachers' Association, and has read papers on educational topics 
before local, county and state organizations. He is a Trustee of 
the Hingham Public Library. 

He is a deacon in the Evangelical Congregational Church of 
Hingham. In politics, he has always been a Republican. 

He was married October 30, 1869, to Miss Louisa Attelia 
Slader, daughter of the late Edward A. Slader, of Nashua, New 
Hampshire. 

He says : ' ' Let me add by way of advice to my bachelor 
classmates, especially my old 'chum,' that the step has proved a 
wise one, for in my wife I have a devoted companion and an 
invaluable aid." 

They have no children.

OF THE 



CLASS OF '64 



(JHAI^LBS ]£>. ftliLEN. 

/THARLES PARSONS ALLEN was born February 16, 1844, 
V^ at Irasburg," Vermont. He began his classical education at 
Norwich, Vermont, and entered college at the beginning of 
Freshman year, August 24, i860. He left us. at the end of the 
first term. He was the son of the late Hon. Ira H. Allen, a 
man of wide repute and large wealth, who was a nephew of 
Ethan Allen. 

After leaving college, he studied law in the office of Hon. 
Heman S. Royce, of St. Albans, Vermont, and was for two 
years at Albany Law School, graduating from that school, and 
was admitted to the bar in Albany, New York, and also in 
Franklin and Orleans Counties, Vermont. He never entered 
upon the practice of his profession, as the large estate of his 
father early fell to his charge, and occupied his attention from 
early manhood. 

He was a Republican in politics, and represented the town 
of Irasburg in the Vermont Legislature in 1867-8. 

In all the walks of life, he displayed much ability, con- 
scientious honesty, and something of the independent, dauntless 
strength of character for which the hero of Ticonderoga was so 
famous. 

About the first of January, 1872, he purchased a large estate 
in South Side, Virginia, where he expected to make his Winter 
home. Very soon after, while upon a hunting campaign, an

amusement of which he was very fond, he contracted a severe 
cold from great exposure, which induced a lung trouble. He 
paid little attention to it at first, his theory of recovery being to 
toughen himself by exposure; but soon feeling that his symp- 
toms were assuming more seriousness, he spent the Winter and 
Spring of 1872 in Florida, and the Winter of 1873 in Florida 
and Cuba. Continuing in poor health for several years, he at 
length left Virginia the last of April, 1877, and went to Dr. 
Jackson's "Cure," in Dansville, New York. At the same time, 
his wife, who was in very feeble health, went with her mother 
to her former home in Peoria, Illinois. While at Dansville, 
he would allow no letters to be written to his wife, except 
of an encouraging character. By accident, a patient there from 
St. Albans, Vermont, heard his name and condition mentioned, 
and wrote to their St. Albans friends about him. The facts 
coming to the knowledge of his aunt, Mrs. H. S. Royce, she 
went immediately to Dansville, and, with the aid of two male 
nurses, took him to her home in St. Albans, where he died on 
May 30, 1877, °f consumption, in about one week after his 
arrival. His disease was complicated with Blight's disease of 
the kidneys. He was buried at Irasburg, his native town. His 
wife died at Peoria, Illinois, on August 4, 1877, and her remains 
were taken to Irasburg, and laid beside those of her husband. 

He was married February 1, 1876, to. Miss Lizzie P. Pulsi- 
fer, of Peoria, Illinois. They have one child, Lizzie Pulsifer, 
who was born January 31, 1877, at Randolph, Virginia, and 
who still lives as the ward of Sidney Pulsifer, her mother's 
father. 

In religion, Allen was an Episcopalian. Mr. Pulsifer writes 
me that "he was possessed of great nobility of character, and a 
more unselfish man I never knew." 



Daniel Justin. 



DANIEL AUSTIN was the son of Daniel and Amelia Allen 
(Bowen) Austin. He was born September 20, 1842, at 
Brooklyn, New York. His father died April 8, 1845, °f con ~ 
sumption, on a return voyage from Cuba, where he had been 
for the benefit of his health. After the death of his father, his 
mother removed to her old home at Woodstock, Connecticut, 
where Daniel attended the Academy until he was eleven years 
old, when he was sent to Lowell, Massachusetts. After remain- 
ing in the Grammar School for one year, he was admitted to 
the High School. At this time, or on March 29, 1854, his 
mother was married to Rev. Franklin W. Fisk, who was Pro- 
fessor of Rhetoric and English Literature in Beloit College, 
Wisconsin, at that time, but removed to Chicago, Illinois, in 
July, 1859, to accept the chair of Sacred Rhetoric in the 
Chicago Theological Seminary, where he still remains. 

Soon after Daniel's admission to the High School, he joined 
his mother at Beloit, and attended the Preparatory School con- 
nected with Beloit College. His health breaking down, he was 
obliged to leave school and go upon a farm for a year. By this 
means, he regained his health sufficiently to resume his studies. In 
September, 1858, he joined the class of '60 at Phillips Academy, 
Andover, Massachusetts. He graduated with honor, delivering 
the salutatory at the conclusion of his course. He then entered 
the Freshman class of Beloit College. His health again failing, 



120 DANIEL AUSTIN. 

he was obliged to leave before the close of the first term. 
Having partially regained his health, he expressed a preference 
for an Eastern College, and finally chose Dartmouth, where he 
entered at the beginning of Freshman Spring term, March i, 
1 86 1. Hard study at Andover had broken down his health, and 
an attack of inflammation of the bowels had left his system illy 
prepared for the study necessary to attain a high scholarship. 
Indigestion and severe headache, from which he was free scarcely 
a day, prevented his close application. He possessed rare tal- 
ents for the acquisition and retention of knowledge, but was 
forced by the condition of his health to give up close study 
and content himself with what he was able to accomplish. He 
thought of leaving college and entering upon a business life, 
but his mother and friends desiring him to continue his course, 
he yielded to their wishes. He left us at the end of Junior 
year, spending a few weeks among relatives in Connecticut, 
then joined a party of friends on a hunting and fishing excur- 
sion to Lake George, New York. They arrived at their des- 
tination on Friday, September 4, 1863, and encamped for the 
night. On Saturday morning came a return of his former 
disease, inflammation of the bowels. There being a physician 
in the party, everything was done for his comfort until the next 
day, Sunday, when he was transported up the lake to Bolton, 
where additional medical aid was summoned. On Monday he 
appeared better, and it was deemed safe and prudent to remove 
him to Brooklyn. ' On Tuesday they started, and arrived at 
Caldwell in the evening. He felt so much better that he 
insisted on walking unaided from the steamer to the hotel. 
During the night following, he was taken much worse, became 
delirious, and quietly expired on the morning of Wednesday, 



DANIEL AUSTIN. 121 

September 9, 1863. His remains were taken to Brooklyn and 
interred in Greenwood Cemetery. 

If there was any one quality for which he was distinguished, 
it was his love for his mother. Being deprived of a father's 
care at such an early age, he was indebted almost wholly to his 
mother for the training which made him what he was. To 
please her seemed his highest ambition, her happiness was always 
his first consideration. She died in Chicago, May 10, 1881, 
aged fifty-nine years. 



Rl^ANGIS BAGON. 



FRANCIS BACON was born November 3, 1841, at Oxford, 
Massachusetts. He received his preparatory education at 
Thetford Academy, Vermont, and entered college at the com- 
mencement of Freshman year, August 24, i860. He left us 
during the Spring term of Freshman year, at the very beginning 
of the war, and enlisted as a private in the Third Battalion, 
Massachusetts Rifles, General Charles Devens commanding, and 
remained for the term of service, three months. He then re- 
enlisted as a private in the Fifteenth Regiment, Massachusetts 
Volunteers. In a short time, he received a commission as Sec- 
ond Lieutenant in the One Hundred and Second Regiment, New 
York Volunteers, his friends having procured it for him from 
the Governor of New York, as Governor John A. Andrew, of 
Massachusetts, could not conscientiously commission him from 
that State, having already commissioned two of his brothers, 
and deemed it unjust to commission three from one family, 
when there were so many other deserving applicants, both in 
the field and at home. 

While serving as Second Lieutenant in the One Hundred and 
Second New York Regiment, he was instantly killed by a 
bullet through his heart, at the battle of Chancellorsville, on 
Sunday, May 3, 1863. His body was not recovered, though 
every effort possible was made by his two brothers, both then 
in the Service. The youngest brother was afterward killed in 



FRANCIS BACOX. 123 

the same manner, and his body was recovered and brought 
home and buried. A monument to the memory of the two 
brave young officers was erected in Rural Cemetery, at Wor- 
cester, Massachusetts, bearing the dates of birth and death on 
the side, and at its base the inscription " Par nobile fratrum." 



I^IMBALIi R BliAISDBLL. 

KIMBALL FOSTER BLAISDELL was bom September 30, 
1842, at Goffstown, New Hampshire. He received his pre- 
paratory training at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New 
Hampshire, and entered our class at the beginning of Freshman 
year. 

In the Spring of 1862, he enlisted in Company B, Seventh 
Squadron, Rhode Island Cavalry, for three months. Upon the 
expiration of his term of service, he returned to his class in the 
Fall of 1862. In the Spring of 1863, he again left us, and 
enlisted in the Navy, where he remained for about eighteen 
months. 

After his return, he traveled through the West for a Phila- 
delphia book firm, until the Spring of 1867, when he took a 
course at Crittenden's Philadelphia Commercial College, gradu- 
ating July 11, 1867. He then returned to Dartmouth, and 
graduated with the class of '68. Immediately after graduating, 
he went to Chicago, Illinois, and began the study of law. He 
was never admitted to the bar, but remained there until after 
the great fire of October 9, 1871, when he went to Minneapolis, 
Minnesota, and engaged in the real-estate business. Not meeting 
with the success which he anticipated, he returned to New 
Hampshire in April, 1873. I n the Fall of that year, he entered 
Harvard Law School, but was unable to finish his course on ac- 
count of sickness. His mind became diseased, and it became 
necessary to send him to the Asylum for the Insane, at Con- 
cord, New Hampshire. He has been there since March 8, 1874. 

He was never married.

studies at the New Hampshire Conference Seminary at Tilton, 
New Hampshire, and entered Darmouth in the Fall of i860. He 
left us during the Summer term of Sophomore year, and enlisted 
in Company B, Seventh Squadron, Rhode Island Cavalry. While 
looking for stray horses, in company with our classmate Manson, 
who was also a member of Company B, he was taken prisoner 
by a squad of Ashby's. Cavalry, and sent to Richmond, Virginia. 
One of his captors introduced himself as an ex-member of 
"Morris Bros., Pell and Trowbridge Minstrels," of Boston. He 
spent one week in Libby prison, and was then transferred to 
Belle Isle, where he remained until he was exchanged. Return- 
ing to the North, he was honorably discharged, and went to 
Concord, New Hampshire, and began the study of medicine 
with Dr. Charles P. Gage. He soon had a desire to reenter 
the service of his country, which he did by entering the navy 
as Assistant Surgeon. Upon his return from the navy, he went 
to Concord and resumed his medical studies. He attended 
lectures at Harvard Medical School and at the Medical Depart- 
ment of the University of Vermont, at Burlington, where he 
graduated in 1866. 

He first began the practice of his profession at Sutton, New 
Hampshire. After remaining there for 'a short time, he returned

to Concord, continuing in practice there until November, 1868, 
when he removed to Salisbury, Connecticut. He remained there 
for six years, enjoying a very comfortable practice. He was 
then induced to remove to Housatonic, Massachusetts, a thriving 
manufacturing town, but he remained there only about one 
year. In 1875 ne a g am returned to Concord, at the earnest 
solicitation of his aunt, to whom he was indebted for his educa- 
tion, his father having died before John began to prepare for 
college. He remained with her until her death, in February, 
1877. In March following, he returned to Salisbury, Connecticut, 
and resumed his old practice. He was chosen Town Clerk and 
Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths in 1879, an< ^ ne ^ tne 
offices for three successive years, and was just about entering on 
his fourth term when he died. He also held the position, under 
the State Government, of Post Surgeon for the town of Salis- 
bury.

He was confined to his bed one week, but had been quite 
feeble for about six weeks. 

He was an attendant of the Episcopal church. 

He was married January 16, 1870, to Miss Estelle Miller, 
of Salisbury, Connecticut. She died of typhoid pneumonia, on 
July 10, 1875. 

He was married, second, on June 10, 1877, to Miss Eliza

term of Sophomore year, in November, 1861, when he decided 
to give up his college course, and went to Boston, Massachusetts, 
and commenced the study of his chosen profession of dentistry, 
in a private office. After due qualification, he went to Grafton, 
Massachusetts, where he began the practice of his profession, 
and remained there in successful practice for seven years. He 
then entered the Boston Dental College, and after completing 
the regular course, graduated from that institution with the 
degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery in March, 1873. He then 
located in Boston, where he still continues the practice of his 
profession, at 206 Tremont street.

Rock Island, Illinois, where he taught for a short time. He 
then entered the army in the capacity of clerk for the Surgeon 
of the Mississippi Marine Brigade, which position he held at the 
time of his death. Early in 1863, he was attacked with 
diarrhoea, which became chronic, and continued until the middle 
of May, 1863, when he was taken with typhoid fever. It 
proved a very severe type of the disease, and after two weeks' 
sickness, he died on May 31, 1863, and was buried at Haines 
Bluff, Mississippi. 



Oliver B. Burleigh. 

OLIVER BRIARD BURLEIGH was the son of John A. and

at Great Falls, New Hampshire. He received his preparatory 
education at Phillips Academy, Exeter, New Hampshire, and 
entered Darmouth at the beginning of the Fall term of Fresh- 
man year, August 24, i860. 

He remained with us but a few months. I cannot remem- 
ber, nor can I learn from friends, just when or why he left 
college. His father died in i860, leaving him quite a hand- 
some property, which was still further increased soon after by 
reason of the death of a brother. He was never engaged in 
any business at home, but went to Boston, Massachusetts, where 
he became proprietor of a drug store on Church street. I have 
been unable to learn any particulars of his death, except that he 
died at Boston, on April 23, 1868, .unattended by any of his 
family or friends. 

He was never married.

JAMES MORRIS CHASE, son of Rev. James Morris 
(class of '27) and Salina Ann (Venable) Chase, was born 
October 17, 1839, at Macomb, Illinois. He pursued his pre- 
paratory studies in the schools of his native town, and entered 
college at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, August 24, 
i860. He remained with us until February, 1861, when he left 
and went to Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, where he re- 
mained- one year. In September, 1862, he enlisted as a private 
in the Seventy-eighth Regiment Illinois Volunteers, which be- 
longed to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Fourteenth 
Army Corps, commanded by Major-General Jeff. C. Davis, of 
Indiana. The first general engagement in which the regiment 
participated was the battle of Chickamauga, at which he was 
taken prisoner on September 21, 1863. He was sent directly 
from the field to Richmond, Virginia, where he was first con- 
fined in a prison called Scott Block, then transferred to the 
Pemberton, and thence to Libby prison, where he remained till 
January 1, 1864. These prisons had formerly been occupied 
as tobacco warehouses, but they were comfortable quarters in 
comparison to Belle Isle, where he was next sent. Here there 
was no shelter of any kind, only the clouds above and frozen 
sand beneath ; it being in the midst of the winter season, there 
was intense suffering among the prisoners. On March 15, 1864, 



JAMES M. CHASE. 131 

he was started for Andersonville, Georgia, where he arrived on 
March 25, being ten days on the railroad. The stockade at this 
place comprised seventeen acres of ground, and contained six- 
teen hundred prisoners when he arrived there, which number 
was increased to thirty-two hundred on April 1, 1864. The in- 
crease in the number of prisoners was so rapid that the capacity 
of the stockade was enlarged so that it comprised twenty-seven 
acres, and on June 1, 1864, contained thirty-six thousand prison- 
ers. It is needless to dwell upon the privations and sufferings 
at Andersonville. He was confined there until September 10, 
1864, when the place was abandoned, part of the prisoners be- 
ing sent to Savannah, Georgia, and the remainder to Florence, 
South Carolina. He was among those who were sent to Savan- 
nah, Georgia, where they were kept in an open field surrounded 
by a guard. Here, he says, they were treated very kindly, 
many people coming to see them, some out of mere curiosity, 
while others brought acceptable baskets of provisions, the first 
token of kindness received since being a prisoner. 

He remained here only one month, when he was sent to 
Millin, Georgia, where he was confined in a stockade similar to 
the one at Andersonville, remaining, there until an exchange was 
effected on November 10, 1864; he had thus been a prisoner 
for almost fourteen months, and been an inmate of all the prin- 
cipal Southern prisons. He then went home on a furlough, re- 
maining until March 10, 1865, when he rejoined his regiment 
at Goldsborough, North Carolina, which he found sadly deci- 
mated, as most of the battles in which it participated occurred 
during his long term of imprisonment. He was mustered out 
of the Service at the close of the war, on June 25, T865. He 
returned immediately to his former Home at Macomb, Illinois, 



132 JAMES M. CHASE. 

where he has continued to reside up to the present time, being 
engaged in farming and brickmaking, in which pursuits he has 
been very successful. 

His religious preferences are Presbyterian. In politics, he is 
a Democrat. 

He was married March 16, 1881, to Miss May A. Smith, of 
Macomb, Illinois. They have no children.

7TTILLIAM' HENRY CUTLER was born December 29, 1839, 
VAy at Lowell, Massachusetts. He began his classical studies 
at McCollum Institute, Mount Vernon, New Hampshire, and 
entered college at the beginning of Freshman year, August 24, 
i860. 

Owing to impaired health, he was obliged to give up his 
college course, and left us in July, 1861, at the close of our 
first year. He spent some time in regaining his health, and 
then entered the Theological Seminary at Bangor, Maine, com- 
pleting the course, and graduating July 27, 1865. He was 
ordained as a Congregational minister on December 20, 1865, 
at Hopkinton, New Hampshire. After leaving his pastorate 
there, he spent some time in Lowell, Massachusetts, his health 
not being sufficient to allow of his doing much work. In 
October, 1868, he accepted a call to Swanzey, New Hampshire, 
where the work would only be such as he would be able to do. 
After two years' labor there, he went for a short time to West- 
minster, Massachusetts, and then to Assonet Village, Massachu- 
setts. In October, 1874, he became pastor of the Second Con- 
gregational Church of Marshfield, Massachusetts, where he 
remained until January, 1878. In October, 1878, he accepted 
a call to the Congregational Church at Hampton, New Hamp- 
shire, where he remained until June, 1883. 

A local paper has the following: "Mr. Cutler is about to 
finish his labors with our people. We think it difficult to solve 



136 WILLIAM H. CUTLER. 

the problem as to where the man is who can fill Mr. Cut- 
ler's place. He is a man of excellent learning, and during his 
stay here has preached some excellent sermons. We think it 
was a mistake letting him go." 

After leaving Hampton, he severed his connection with the 
Congregationalists, and was received into the Protestant Episco- 
pal church, in order to enter the ministry of that church. The 
Bishop has assigned him to the charge of St. Matthews parish, 
in Goffstown, New Hampshire, which is his present residence. 

He was married September 12, 1865, to Miss Mary C. 
Spofford, of Lowell, Massachusetts. They have two children : 
Anna Evelyn, born December 2, 1869, and Clara Louise, 
born January 30, 1872.

FRANCIS RALPH DELANO was born September 6, 1842, 
at Lockport, New York. He commenced his classical edu- 
cation at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, 
and entered Dartmouth College at the beginning of Fresh- 
man year, in the Fall of i860. He remained with us but one 
term, when he left, and went to Hobart College, Geneva, New 
York, where he completed his Freshman year. He remained 
out of college for one year, and then entered as a Sophomore 
in the class of '6$, at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut. 
He graduated from that college in 1865, and took his degree 
of Master of Arts in course. 

Immediately after graduating, he went to Boston, Massachu- 
setts, where he read law for a year and a half, and took the full 
course at Harvard Law School, receiving his degree of Bachelor 
of Laws in 1868. He was admitted to the bar of Massachusetts 
as attorney and counsellor-at-law, in the same year. He spent 
the next two years in traveling, and in September, 1870, he 
located at Niagara Falls, New York, where his family had made 
their home. He decided to give up the practice of law, and 
started a private banking office at Niagara Falls. He has con- 
tinued in the same business up to the present time, only on a 
larger scale. He was for a number of years Cashier of the 
Cataract Bank, the largest and most successful bank in Niagara

talist, having large interests in the neighborhood of the F.alls. 
He is a member of the International Hotel Company, Treasurer 
of the Niagara Falls Brewing Company, Treasurer of the Niagara 
Falls Water-Works Company, Treasurer of the Pettebone Paper 
Company, of Niagara Falls, and President of the Merchants'

judged from his many official positions, his time is pretty fully 
occupied, and he may be classed among the decidedly busy 
men. 

He is a member of the Episcopal church. Politically, he is 
a Democrat. 

He was married October 19, 1871, to Miss Elizabeth Gant, 
of Niagara Falls, New York. They have one child, Nannette 
Roselle, born August 31, 1875.

mOSES CURRIER EATON was born September 26, 1838, 
at Wentworth, New Hampshire. He received his Aca- 
demical education at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New 
Hampshire, and entered our class at the commencement of 
Freshman year. He left us in the Summer of 1861, at the close 
of the first year, and, in the Fall of the same year, commenced 
the study of medicine with the late Prof. Dixi Crosby, M.D., 
and T. R. Crosby, M.D., at Hanover. He then attended lec- 
tures at the Dartmouth Medical College, and graduated in regular 
course in the Fall of 1864. 

He commenced the practice of his profession at Warren, 
New Hampshire, in January, 1865, and remained there until 
September, 1869, when he removed to Plymouth, New Hamp- 
shire, where he continued in practice. He was appointed 
United States Medical Examiner of Applicants for Pensions, 
which office he held until his death, which occurred at Ply- 
mouth, on March 29, 1872. He had acquired an extensive 
practice, and was deservedly popular as a physician as well as 
citizen. 

He was a member of the Congregational church, and a 
Republican in politics. His last illness was very brief, being 
sick only four days, with cerebro-spinal meningitis. 

He was married February 15, 1865, to Miss Ellen L. Ward, 
of Plymouth, New Hampshire, who survives him. They had 
one child, Arthur Ward, who was born October 18, 1867. 



I^ai^ison D. Cyans. 

T^ARRISON DEXTER EVANS was born May 2, 1836, at 
Ay Peterborough, New Hampshire. His preparatory course 
was taken at Appleton Academy, New Ipswich, New Hampshire, 
and he entered our class in the Spring of 1862, during our 
Sophomore year. He remained with us only two terms, or until 
the completion of Sophomore year. 

He then enlisted in the service of his country on August 18, 
1862, as a private in Company G, Thirteenth Regiment, New 
Hampshire Volunteers, but was immediately detailed on special 
duty in the Quartermaster's Department, and served there for 
eighteen months. He was then detached from his regiment, and 
placed in charge of confiscated farms, to cultivate them with 
colored help that came into our lines, the idea of our Govern- 
ment being to make the negroes self-sustaining. He was on 
special duty during his whole term of service, part of the time 
being employed in carrying rations to the soldiers at the front 
under cover of night. The last year of the war, he was sick all 
the time with ague and rheumatism, contracted while in the dis- 
charge of his duties, and he has never since regained his health. 
He was never off duty while in the Service, and he has never 
had a pension. He was mustered out of the Service on June 
26, 1865. 

He then went to Mossville, Peoria County, Illinois, where he 
taught school, but remained there only a short time, as his wife 



HARRISON D. EVANS. 141 

contracted the ague, and he returned to New England, teaching 
schools in Massachusetts and New Hampshire until 1868. During 
this year, he bought a farm at Sharon, New Hampshire, which he 
cultivated for four years. In 1872 he accepted a position as 
traveling salesman for nursery stock, and at the same time can- 
vassing for "Johnson's Natural History of the Animal King- 
dom," in which business he is still engaged. 

He has filled the offices of Selectman, Town Clerk, member 
of the School Committee and Justice of the Peace. He is at 
present a deacon in the Congregational Church at Aver Junc- 
tion, Massachusetts. He is a Republican in politics. 

He was married August 9, 1862, to Miss Hattie L. Buck- 
nam, of New Ipswich, New Hampshire. They have three chil- 
dren : Minnie H., born December 11, 1866; Jennie May, born 
September 9, 1869, and Harrison E., born August 18, 1881. 



FRANCIS (g. CWINS . 

FRANCIS CARLETON EWINS was the son of Thomas H. 
and Susan (Robinson) Ewins. He was born April 17, 1843, 
at Salem, New Hampshire. He fitted for college at Newton 
Centre, Massachusetts, and entered our class February 27, 1861. 
He left us in the Summer term of Sophomore year, enlisting on 
June 24, 1862, for three months, in Company B, Seventh Squad- 
ron, Rhode Island Cavalry. He was one of the company who 
captured the famous Confederate spy Belle Boyd. He was mus- 
tered out of the Service on September 26, 1862, the expiration 
of the term for which he enlisted. He seemed especially to 
have enjoyed the venturesome part of a soldier's life, and on 
January 23, 1863, he again enlisted for three years, in Company 
H of the Second Regiment, Rhode Island Cavalry. He fully 
intended, if his life was spared, to resume his studies at the close 
of that time. Very soon after his enlistment, he was made Ser- 
geant-Major, with the promise of further promotion, which he 
never lived to see. He was taken sick with a fever while his 
regiment was on the way to Port Hudson, and was sent to the 
hospital at Brashear City, now Morgan City, Louisiana, where he 
died June 6, 1863. That was the message sent to his friends by 
the adjutant of his regiment, and that is all they have ever 
been able to learn in regard to him. The city was captured 
by the Confederates soon after, and all the hospital records were 
destroyed. 



FRANCIS C. EWINS. 143 

Every means have been employed to learn particulars regard- 
ing him after he left his regiment, but all without avail. The 
absence of facts regarding his death has been greatly lamented 
by his friends. The mystery surrounding it has been an espe- 
cially great grief to his mother, who depended upon him as few 
mothers do upon a son. He was a very kind son and brother, 
always manly beyond his years. 

The Principal of the Seminary where he fitted for college 
wrote to President Lord, under the date of February 26, 1861, 
as follows: "* * * he is a young man of excellent charac- 
ter and fine abilities, and if admitted, I've no doubt w T ill soon 
rise to be among the best in his class. I have found but few 
better or more faithful boys in a course of more than twenty 
years of teaching. He has always been ambitious of doing his 
duty."

(3AMBS r^. GRAVES. 

JAMES ROLLIN GRAVES was the eldest son of Z. C. and 
Adelia C. Graves. He was born January, i, 1843, at Kings- 
ville, Ashtabula County, Ohio. When he was seven years of 
age, his parents removed to Winchester, Tennessee, where his 
father became President of the Mary Sharp College, which posi- 
tion he still occupies, holding a leading and prominent position 
as an educator. His mother is also known as a writer of some 
note, being the authoress of "Jephthah's Daughter," and some 
other works. James pursued his preparatory studies at the insti- 
tution of which his father is President, until 1859, when he went 
to Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, for one 
year. He entered Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall term, 
August 24, i860. When the war broke out, in the Spring of 
1 86 1, no funds could longer be transmitted to him, and he left 
us for his home in Tennessee. Being ardent and enthusiastic, 
he threw his whole heart into his country's struggle for what he 
thought its rights. Upon entering the Service, he was placed in 
the Quartermaster's Department; but that did not suit his active 
temperament, and he joined the Fourth Georgia Cavalry, and was 
appointed Adjutant on the staff of Colonel Avery, commanding 
the regiment. He was killed by a fall of his horse, near King- 
ston, Georgia, on August 30, 1863. His horse reared and fell 
backward, and crushed him to death instantly. The regiment 
was just commencing a forced march when the accident 



152 JAMES R. GRAVES. 

occurred, and when Colonel Avery asked who would remain 
behind to bury the dead boy, and take their chances for over- 
taking the regiment, every hand was raised. A detail was made 
to bury him, and they rode several miles to procure screws to 
fasten the lid of the coffin which their own hands had made, 
saying that they could not bear the sound of a hammer to 
drive nails into the box containing the remains of so loved a 
comrade. One of the members of this regiment afterward said 
that if they could not obtain assistance from the authorized 
officer when they came into camp wet, hungry and cold, it was 
a common saying among them, "Go to Graves, he will not see 
us suffer," and he was always ready to attend to their needs. 
His chief characteristic was self-denial, and his generous, self- 
sacrificing disposition made him a universal favorite wherever he 
was known, and his memory is tenderly cherished by those who 
knew and loved him. 



(So^GELLUS Y). F^AG^BTHT. 

/TORCELLUS HUBBARD HACKETT was born April 20, 
\J 1839? at Tunbridge, Vermont. His preparatory course was 
taken at the Union Academy, Canaan, New Hampshire, and he 
entered College at the commencement of Freshman year, August 
24, i860. He was obliged to leave us, during the Spring term 
of Freshman year in 186 1, on account of ill health. After 
remaining at home a few months, he went to Weymouth, Massa- 
chusetts, and secured a situation as bookkeeper. His health 
very gradually improved ; but becoming more and more inter- 
ested in business, he finally, but very reluctantly, abandoned 
the idea of returning to college. He remained in Weymouth, 
clerking and in business in a small way for himself, until the 
Winter of 1863. In April, 1864, he became a salesman in a 
wholesale clothing house in Boston, Massachusetts, in which 
capacity he continued until December, 1865, at which date he 
entered into copartnership with Messrs. Miner and Beal, under 
the style of Miner, Beal & Co., which was changed a little later 
to Miner, Beal & Hackett. This house was one of the most 
successful in its line in Boston, having from comparatively small 
beginnings placed itself at the head of the list, and continued 
to lead, possibly with the exception of sharing the honor with 
another house occasionally. Their losses at the great Boston 'fire 
in November, 1872, were very heavy, their stock, which was 
consumed, amounting to about $350,000. They saved only their

books; but their credit was unimpaired, and they immediately 
resumed business, and the subsequent years were particularly 
prosperous. He severed his connection with the house in De- 
cember, 1882, having been a member of the firm for seventeen 
years. He now retires from active business for the present. 
His career as a business man has been eminently successful. 
In February, 1883, he took a trip to Florida, returning to 
Boston in May. 

On June 16, 1883, he sailed with his family for Europe, 
where he expects to remain indefinitely, seeking rest, of which 
he very much feels the need. 

His religious preferences are Congregational. Ln politics, he 
is a Republican. 

He was married July 23, 1866, to Miss Helen L. Hum- 
phrey, of East Weymouth, Massachusetts. They have two 
children : Helen Grace, born October 19, 1869, and Harold 
Humphrey, born July 13, 1878. 



(©HAI^LES D. F^AI^YEY. 

/THARLES DARLING HARVEY was born September 7, 
V^ 1839, at East Burke, Vermont. At the age of fourteen 
years, he was placed upon* a farm, where he worked for four 
years. During this time, he formed a desire for a collegiate 
course, and pursued the study of Latin, reciting to a private 
instructor during the Winter evenings. In the Fall of 1857, he 
entered the Academy at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, from which 
institution he graduated in the Summer of 186c. He entered 
our class at Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall term, 
August 24, i860. 

During his Academical course, he had experienced much 
difficulty in using his eyes by artificial light, owing to a weak- 
ness caused by night reading while on the farm* and' this became 
so serious, that it necessitated an entire suspension of study, 
and he was obliged to abandon his college course at the close 
of the first term. 

After leaving college, light employment was temporarily 
offered in the law office of Hon. B. H. Steele, ^at Derby Line, 
Vermont, and while so employed, he became interested in the 
study of law. For two years, the condition of his eyes did not 
allow more than one hour of reading each day. In February, 
1862, he entered the law office of Hon. T. P. Redfield, of 
Montpelier, Vermont, and continued under his instruction until 
the Summer of 1863, when he was admitted to the bar. In the 



156 . CHARLES D. HARVEY. 

Fall of 1862, while reading with Mr. Redfield, he received a 
position as Assistant State Librarian. In the Spring of 1863, he 
was appointed Assistant Clerk in the Circuit Court, at Mont- 
pelier, and also in the Supreme Court of the State", which posi- 
tions he held while in Montpelier. 

In the Fall of 1863, he accepted a clerkship in the United 
States District Court, at Springfield, Illinois, from which posi- 
tion he was, six months later, transferred to the United States 
District Attorney's office, where he acted as Assistant District 
Attorney until after the assassination of President Lincoln, tak- 
ing an active part in the administration of the Internal Revenue 
Laws, both in the court and criminal cases. 

Retiring from this office, he commenced the general practice 
of law in the Federal Courts, in company with A. Campbell, 
Esq. A month later, Hon. Lawrence Weldon, ex-United States 
District Attorney, became associated with them, under the firm 
name of Weldon, Campbell & Harvey. The death of Mr. 
Campbell occurred in 1867, and the firm of Weldon & Harvey 
continued two years later, when Mr. Weldon' s removal from 
the city necessitated a change, and the new firm of Harvey & 
Wolcott continued the business until 1876. 

At this time, overwork compelled a suspension, and he found 
that both change of climate and occupation was now impera- 
tive. 

He then started West, and located on the Pacific Coast, and, 
with a new climate and a new occupation, made a fresh start in 
business. Naturally inclined to mechanics, and having pre- 
viously made some study of the theory of warming and venti- 
lating buildings as a science, he made it a practical study, 
using the hot-water system in preference to air or steam. 



CHARLES D. HARVEY. 157 

Having perfected the system, it was difficult to introduce, 
being expensive and unknown on that coast. Little progress 
was made during the first two years, but having been practically 
tested, it soon became the popular system, and rapidly 
developed into an extensive business, and for the past two years 
has been more extensively used than any other system on the 
Pacific Coast. The manufactory is in San Francisco, and his 
residence is across the bay, in Oakland, California. With the 
active out-door life and the bracing climate, the change of 
employment has brought health and strength, to his entire 
satisfaction. 

In religion, he is a Congregationalist, and in politics, he is 
a Republican. 

He was married May 30, 1867, to Miss Margaretta A. 
Slemmons, of Cadiz, Ohio. 

They have had six children : S. Slemmons, born May 29, 
1868; Silas Antrim, born February 26, 1870; Amanda M., 
born December 17, 1872; Alice, born May 31, 1875; Charles 
W., born April 12, 1878, and Amie, born September 12, 1882. 

Silas Antrim died August 19, 1872. Alice died January 
28, 1879, an d Charles W. died February 3, 1879.

Central High School of his native city, and entered college at 
the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. He left during 
Sophomore Fall for the purpose of entering the service of his 
country, but only succeeded in gaining consent to enter the 
Quartermaster's Department in 1864. He remained in Govern- 
ment service until the Fall of 1865, when he engaged in mer- 
cantile pursuits with his father and brother until 1870, when he 
became interested, in company with J. M. Bishop, under the 
name of Bishop & Heisel, and afterward the Commercial Oil 
Company, in the refining of petroleum for illuminating purposes. 
He continued in this until the Spring of 1883, when he sold his 
interest, and has since remained out of active business. 

His religious preferences are decidedly liberal, as he con- 
fesses a leaning toward Ingersollism. In politics, he is a 
Democrat. 

He was married August 7, 1867, to Miss Catherine Eliza

ALFRED OWEN HITCHCOCK, son of Dr. Alfred and 
Fidelia Dorcas (Clark) Hitchcock, was born May 16, 1842, 
at Ashby, Massachusetts. He received his preparatory classical 
education at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hamp- 
shire, and entered Dartmouth College in the Fall of 1859 as a 
member of the class of '63. He severed his connection with 
that class at the end of Freshman year, on account of ill health, 
and re-entered in the Fall of 1861, joining our class as a 
Sophomore. A strong desire to enter the army induced him to 
abandon his college course, and he left us in November, 1862. 
In December, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company A, 
Fifty-third Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers. At the charge 
on Port Hudson, June 14, 1863, he was wounded in the right 
eye. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Fifty- 
seventh Regiment, Massachusetts Veteran Volunteers, in October, 
1863; was promoted to First Lieutenant in October, 1864, and 
to Captain in May, 1865. He served as Aide-de-Camp and 
Provost-Marshal on the staff of Major-General Nelson A. Miles, 
and was made Brevet-Major for gallant and meritorious services. 
By a special order of the War Department, he served for a year 
after the close of the war. He then returned, and commenced 
the study of medicine with his father at Fitchburg, Massachusetts, 
and afterward attended lectures at Harvard Medical School, 
from which institution he took his degree of Doctor of Medicine

in March, 1870. He immediately commenced the practice of his 
profession at Holliston, Massachusetts, where he remained for 
two or three years, doing a very satisfactory business, when his 
father, who was growing old and feeble, sent for him to go to 
Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and take charge of his practice. He 
has remained there ever since, devoting himself entirely to his 
profession, with a successful practice. 

He was married June 14, 187 1, to Miss Georgia L. Bemis,

Alden Vilas died August 12, 1873. 

He adds : 

" Had not it been, some in the world 
I loved, and some who in the world 
Had loved me, my pen must say 
Life had disclosed but night, no day; 
And far beyond my soundings lay 
What was of value in the world."

GDWIN LaFAYETTE HOVEY was born May 25, 1839, at 
Waterford, Vermont. He received the foundation of his 
classical education at the Academy at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, 
and entered College at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, 
August 24. i860. He remained with us for two years, leaving 
at the close of Sophomore year, in the Summer of 1862, for the 
purpose of entering the service of his country, which he did by 
enlisting on October 22, 1862, as a private in Company K, 
Fifteenth Regiment, Vermont Volunteers. At the organization 
of the regiment, he was made Sergeant-Major, and in November 
following, was promoted to Second Lieutenant, this being fol- 
lowed in March, 1863, by still further promotion to First Lieu- 
tenant. He was mustered out of the Service on July 22, 1863, 
the term for which he enlisted, nine months, having expired. 
Upon his return home, he wrote to President Asa D. Smith, 
asking if he could rejoin our class without making up what had 
been gone over during his absence. He received an affirmative 
answer, and at the beginning of the Fall term in 1863, he 
started for Hanover, but on the way there he purchased a farm 
of four hundred acres, and abandoned his purpose to finish his 
college course. He soon bought an additional four hundred 
acres, and for four years he managed the farm with abundant 
success. In 1867 he started a newspaper at St. Johnsbury, 
Vermont, called The St. Johnsbury Ti?nes, which he con-

tinued the proprietor of for a little over a year, with very 
satisfactory results, when he sold out at a large advance upon 
the cost. He next bought some mill property with eighteen 
acres of land, in Summerville, Vermont, a suburb, of St. Johns- 
bury, where his home now is, upon which he has built and sold 
several good houses. During the past twelve years, he has owned 
one store at three different times. He says that in all things he 
has had ' ' first-rate luck, ' ' that he has a healthy, vigorous 
family, and is as happy as a man needs to be in this world. 

In his religious views, he is a Universalist ; in politics, a 
Republican.

1864 he resigned his position in the navy and went to New 
Mexico, where he was engaged in merchandising, contracting, 
etc. While there, he held appointments as deputy internal reve- 
nue assessor, postmaster, alcalde, notary public, and colonel of 
militia. In 1870 he went into business at New Orleans, Louisi- 
ana, where his home was. He remained there until 1879, when 
he went to the San Juan country, in Colorado, and engaged in 
mining, where he still remains. He is located at Animas Forks, 
Colorado, of which city he is now serving his second term as

course, and in the Spring of 1863, was elected as a Representa- 
tive to the New Hampshire Legislature, from his native town of 
Piermont. In the Spring of 1864, he went to Nashville, Tennes- 
see, where he remained until the Spring of 1870, when he re-

JOSEPH ly elBNNBSS. 

JOSEPH KENDALL JENNESS was born March 4, 1843, 
U at Haverhill, Massachusetts. He pursued his preparatory 
studies at the High School of his native town, and entered 
Dartmouth at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, August 24, 
i860. He is remembered by us all as a young man of excep- 
tionally brilliant talents, and a most genial companion and 
friend. He immediately took the first rank among us as a 
scholar, and maintained the position of class-leader during his 
connection with us. His patriotism outweighed his love of 
study, and he left us in the Spring of 1861, and enlisted as a 
private in the Ninth New York Cavalry, and soon rose to 
the rank of Second Lieutenant. For a short time, he was a 
member of the body-guard of President Lincoln; but during 
most of his term of service, he was in the Department of the 
Southwest, in General Banks' division. He served until the 
close of the war in 1865. Upon his return to Haverhill, he 
commenced the study of law, entering the office of John J. 
Marsh, Esq., where he remained until he was admitted to the 
Massachusetts bar in 1868. The Haverhill Police Court was 
established in 1867, and he was appointed clerk of that court, 
which office he filled until September, 1872. 

When the first City Government was inaugurated, he was 
elected Clerk of the Common Council, which office he held in 
1871 and 1873. 



170 JOSEPH K. JEN NESS. 

He was elected Mayor of Haverhill in 1876, and re-elected 
in 1877. During these two years, he was associated with D. C. 
Bartlett, Esq., in the practice of law, the partnership terminating 
upon his retirement from the mayoralty. 

At the municipal election in 1879, ne was elected for the 
three years' term as a member of the School Committee. At 
the time of his death, he was the senior member of the law 
firm of Jenness & Moody. His physical constitution, which 
was never very robust, was for two years giving way to the 
pressure that his mental activity and close application to busi- 
ness made upon it. In 1880 he became convinced that he must 
for awhile give up business cares, and take time for a rest. 
This he did, and though appearing to have received benefit, 
there was no permanent improvement. After again entering 
upon his duties, his failing health proved that his disease had 
not left him. As the spring of 1881 opened, his friends became 
anxious about him, and advised him to again seek rest and 
recreation. He went to Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, 
where the invigorating sea-air seemed to revive him for a time ; 
and after an absence of several weeks he returned home, think- 
ing he had gained in strength; but this hope proved a delusion, 
and it was evident to his friends that he was passing away. 
For a month he sank rapidly, and finally breathed his last on 
Monday, August 29, 1881. 

The cause of his death was paralysis of the brain. His 
funeral services were held on the Wednesday following, and 
were attended by family and relatives only, in accordance with 
an oft-expressed wish of his during life. 

He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, the 
Royal Arcanum and the Knights of Honor. In his profession 



JOSEPH K. JENNESS. 171 

as a lawyer, he displayed much ability, and built up a worthy 
reputation, not only in Haverhill, but throughout the State. 

He was an attendant at the Methodist church. In politics, 
he was a Republican. 

He was married June 23, 1876, to Miss Gertrude Jane 
Barrows, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, who survives him. They 
had three children: Ella Gertrude, born August 5, 1871 ; 
Albert Kendall, born July 20, 1873, an d Howard Cornelius, 
born March 15, 1875. 



(g>HAI^IiE3 &X I^IMBALL. 

/THARLES WEBSTER KIMBALL was born November 29, 
^f^ 1840, at Bradford, Massachusetts. He received his prepara- 
tory education at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and 
entered our class the first day of our Freshman year, and left us 
the last day of the same year, in the Summer of 1861. He went 
to Haverhill, Massachusetts, the last week in August, i86j, and 
enlisted as a private in Company H, Twenty-second Regiment, 
Massachusetts Volunteers. This regiment was one of two — the 
Twenty-second and Twenty-third — raised by Hon. Henry Wilson, 
then United States Senator from Massachusetts. After remaining 
in camp at Lynnfield, Massachusetts, about six weeks, they went 
to Washington, D. C, in October, 1861, under the command 
of Colonel Henry Wilson. They went immediately to Vir- 
ginia, being assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Fifth 
Army Corps, commanded by General Fitz John Porter. In 
March, 1862, his regiment participated in the advance on the 
"Quaker Guns" of Manassas, and then went to the Penin- 
sular under General George B. McClellan, landing at Fortress 
Monroe just after the fight between the Monitor and the Merri- 
mac. He was also present at the siege of Yorktown in April, 
1862. He then took part in the demonstration at Hanover 
Court House, which was made while the great battle was going 
on at Fair Oaks. In the seven days' battle, he took part in 
that at Mechanicsville on June 28, the Chickahominy on June

29, where his regiment lost three hundred men, including 
Colonel Gove and most of the other officers, and at Malvern 
Hill on July 3, — the last of a desperate series of battles. When 
the Army of the Potomac left the Peninsular in August, 1862, 
to reinforce General Pope at Bull Run, he went with his regi- 
ment as far as Fredericksburg, where he was compelled to leave 
it, being sick with swamp fever and chronic diarrhoea. He 
was discharged for general debility at Baltimore, Maryland, on 
March 24, 1863. 

Owing to continued ill health, he was unable to resume his 
studies, as he was very desirous of doing. On March 10, 1864, 
he sailed from Boston, Massachusetts, for Louisiana, where he 
remained until June, 1865. AVhile there, he had six months' 
experience on a large sugar and cotton plantation, and also 
taught a colored school for six months, under the United States 
Bureau of Education. He removed to Philadelphia, Pennsyl- 
vania, in 1869, where he was engaged in the shoe and leather 
business for nine years. In 1878 he made a change to the fur- 
niture business, in which he continued until March, 1883, when 
he removed to South Vineland, New Jersey, and bought a small 
farm, where he is at present engaged in general farming, fruit 
and poultry raising. 

In his religious preferences, he is liberal. In politics, he 
is an Independent Republican. 

He was married October 17, 1878, to Miss Elizabeth A. 
Wells, of Salem, Massachusetts. They have no children. 



LCEONAI^D S. I\IMBAIiIi. 

LEONARD SALTMARSH KIMBALL was the son of Leonard 
/ and Caroline (Parker) Kimball, of Goffstown, New Hamp- 
shire. He was born March 7, 1843, at Weare, New Hampshire. 
His father removed to Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1845, anc ^ here 
Leonard's boyhood was spent, which was unmarked by any 
special events of interest to those outside the family circle. 

In his studies, he was proficient ; in play, was active, and in 
labor, resolute to engage where his services were needed. He 
was especially beloved by his sister ; and his father, who was a 
man of unusual powers of penetration, watched with pride 
mingled with fear his expanding powers, hoping for the best, yet 
with the feelings of anxiety that only a parent can feel, fearing 
that he might be influenced by those to whom he gave his con- 
fidence, and led into the many temptation's that beset the young. 
He was a young man of great talents and fine ability, and 
much confidence was felt that his future would be a good and 
a great one. He will be remembered by us all as witty, gener- 
ous and impulsive. He had great ambitions, and had intended 
to become a lawyer after completing his college course. He 
received the foundation of his education at the Lowell High 
School, and entered Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall 
term, August 24, i860. 

During the Winter vacation of 1 860-1, he taught a school at 
West Boxford, Massachusetts.

In the month of October, 1861, he was taken with typhoid 
fever in a very severe form, and, though receiving the best care 
and medical skill, after a short sickness breathed his last on 
November 1, 1861. It was the first death which had occurred in 
our class. All recitations and games were suspended until after 
the funeral services. A delegation from the class accompanied 
the body to Lowell, Massachusetts, where it was interred. He 
had, for one so young, a just and discriminating taste in litera- 
ture. There are few who pass from earth in early youth who 
give up more of joyousness in the very consciousness of liv- 
ing, or more of ardent hopes for a brilliant future. He had 
all of the collegian's warm and natural interest in his class, 
and, had he lived, would have rejoiced in the successes and 
honors of his classmates.

New Orleans and the swampy country of Louisiana, where he 
remained for nine months, the period of enlistment. He re- 
turned to Concord, New Hampshire, with his regiment, on 
August 14, 1863. He was very feeble, and remained for some 
weeks in the hospital at Concord, before he was able to get to 
his father's home, which was then at Newington, New Hamp- 
shire. He afterward improved in health so much, that, although 
he was troubled with chills for a long time, he was appointed 
as a Passenger Conductor on the Concord Railroad, January 1, 
1866, that being the first employment he was able to engage in 
after returning from the Service. He made his residence in 
Concord at this time. In January, 1867, he had become too 
feeble, from hemorrhage of the lungs, to remain longer on the

after only four days' sickness, died April 4, 1883. He was a 
man of fine natural abilities and literary tastes, supplemented by 
a liberal education, which, with his genial personal qualities, 
secured for him a large circle of warm friends, among whom his

Barnstead, New Hampshire. He received his preparatory 
training at the Academies at New Hampton, New Hampshire, 
and Pittsfield, New Hampshire, and entered our class at Dart-

He remained with us until the end of Sophomore Fall term, at 
which time he bade adieu to college life and went to Pitts- 
field, New Hampshire, and commenced the study of medicine 
with John Wheeler, M.D. In the Fall of 1862, he returned to 
Hanover, and began a course of lectures at Dartmouth Medical 
College, but only remained a few weeks, when he left and 
enlisted in the Eleventh Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers, 
on October 26, 1862. He was immediately detailed for duty in 
the Hospital Department of the regiment, and served as nurse,

ARTHUR C. NEWELL. 183 

remained stationed at the hospital in Covington, Kentucky, and 
at the same time attended lectures at the Medical College of 
Ohio, in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he graduated in March, 1865. 
He was appointed by Governor Brough, of Ohio, to the position of 
Assistant Surgeon of the Eighteenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteers, 
on May 2, 1865, and served with the regiment in Tennessee and 
Georgia, until he was mustered out of the Service on October 9, 
1865. He was then appointed Acting Assistant Surgeon, United 
States Army, and served with the regular troops in Georgia 
until June 15, 1866, when he resigned, owing to ill health, and 
returned to his home in New Hampshire. He soon located for 
the practice of medicine in Rochester, New Hampshire, where he 
remained until July, 1869, when he removed to Farmington, 
New Hampshire, where, in addition to the practice of medicine, 
he opened a drug store. In October, 1876, he was appointed 
postmaster of the town, which position he held until March, 
1881, when, on account of continual and increasing ill health, 
he was obliged to give up both his position and business. 
During his residence in Farmington, he was twice the candidate 
of his party for member of the State Legislature, but the contest 
was so close, that neither party could elect either of those two 
years.

his company from the date of the second Bull Run battle, 
August 29, 1862, until his death. At Bull Run the color- 
bearer was killed, and amid a shower of bullets, Rand bravely 
gathered up the colors and bore them from the field, an act of 
heroism witnessed with the warmest approbation by many of 
his comrades. He was on the right of Burnside's Corps in 
the charge across the "Stone Bridge" at the battle of Antietam, 
where he was shot in the head, and instantly killed, on Sep-

and accepted an invitation to preach for the Congregational 
Church at Dana, Massachusetts. He was subsequently ordained, 
and installed -as pastor of the Congregational Church at Glaston- 
bury, Connecticut, after which he accepted a call to the Con- 
gregational Church at Webster, Massachusetts, where he remained 
until 1876. He then went to Holden, Massachusetts, where he 
preached as regular supply for the Congregational Church until 

1879. 

At this time, his liberal views led him to withdraw from the 
ministry, although he has continued to preach occasionally, by 
request, in different places before liberal churches. Extracts 
from his sermons, as well as sermons entire, have frequently 
been published in the newspapers, and also in pamphlet form.

study of law, and was admitted to the bar of Massachusetts, at 
Worcester, in March, 1883. He immediately opened an office

and served on School Boards, directing and superintending 
school affairs in the towns where he has resided. He established 
an Educational Bureau at Worcester, in January, 1882, which he 
is at present conducting.

college at the end of the first year, in July, 1861, and went 
to St. Johnsbury, Vermont, where he became Principal of the 
Graded School, and so continued for one year. On account of 
failing health, he spent a season in the woods of the Lake Su- 
perior region, with very much benefit to himself. He then re- 
turned to Vermont, and was elected Cashier of the Northfield 
National Bank, which position he occupied until June, 1867,

the necessary preparatory instruction was received from a private 
ins tructor. He entered our class at the beginning of the course 
August 24, i860. 

Being obliged to rely almost entirely on his own exertions 
for the necessary funds to complete his education, he felt com- 
pelled to leave college for a year and engage in teaching. He 
accordingly left us on May 9, 1861, at the close of the Spring 
term. He returned to Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall 
term, in 1862, entering the class of '65 as a Sophomore. He 
was taken sick and went home to Epsom, about the 10th of 
October. His disease was typhoid fever in its severest form, 
terminating fatally, after four weeks' illness, on November 11, 
1862. 

He was a young man of good promise, and though with us 
but a short time, endeared himself to many of us by his many 
noble traits of character. In his native town, he always ranked 
well in scholarship and general demeanor, and held the esteem 
of his teachers and the regard of his fellow citizens.
